The suspect accused in a “targeted terror attack” in Boulder, Colorado earlier this month was formally charged Wednesday with additional hate crimes.
A federal grand jury indictment unsealed in Denver Wednesday charges Mohamed Sabry Soliman with 12 hate crime counts for using Molotov cocktails to attack a group of people demonstrating in support of Israeli hostages in Gaza. Soliman was initially charged with one count of a hate crime the day after the attack.
Wednesday’s indictment alleges that Soliman entered a park in front of the Boulder County Courthouse on June 1 carrying a backpack weed sprayer containing a flammable liquid and a black plastic container holding over a dozen glass bottles and jars containing flammable liquid. Several of these allegedly had red rags stuffed through the top acting as wicks.
Around 1:30 p.m., Soliman approached people participating in the “Run for Their Lives” demonstration and hurled two lit Molotov cocktails at them while shouting “Free Palestine!” the indictment alleges.
