Suspect in Boulder antisemitic terror attack charged with 118 counts including attempted murder

Boulder County’s district attorney on Thursday charged the suspect in the Pearl Street Mall terror attack with more than 100 criminal counts related to the antisemitic firebombing that injured 15 people and a dog.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian immigrant who officials say was living in the U.S. illegally, faces 118 charges, including dozens of counts of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault.

Sixty-two of the charges concern offenses against victims, including 28 counts of attempted first-degree murder. Two attempted-murder counts — one for being a premeditated crime, the other as an act of extreme indifference — each applied to 14 of the injured victims.

Prosecutors levied a third-degree assault charge on behalf of the 15th person who was hurt in Sunday’s attack. Soliman was also charged with multiple counts of attempted assault and use of incendiary devices — plus a misdemeanor animal-cruelty count because a dog was injured in the attack.
