DENVER (KDVR) A federal indictment was unsealed on Wednesday morning in Denver, which charged Boulder terror attack suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, with hate crimes and explosive charges, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado.

According to the indictment, on June 1, Soliman entered a Boulder park carrying a weed sprayer that contained a flammable liquid and a black plastic container that held 18 glass bottles and jars, some of which had red rags stuffed in the top of them to act as a wick in what are commonly referred to as Molotov cocktails.

Around 1:30 p.m., he approached a group called Run for Their Lives and threw two Molotov cocktails at them, shouting “free Palestine” as he threw one.

The indictment states that a handwritten document was retrieved from his vehicle.

“Zionism is our enemies until [sic] Jerusalem is liberated and they are expelled from our land,” the document stated, and further described Israel as a “cancer entity.”

The indictment also revealed alleged statements Soliman made during interviews with law enforcement.

He stated that “anyone supporting the exist[sic] of Israel on our land to be a Zionist.”

Soliman also said that he decided to take revenge on these people and looked on the internet to find any “Zionist event.”

He learned of the Run for Their Lives group’s event through searches including “Zionist events” and identified the group when he saw the flags and signs members carried with them to the courthouse on the day of the incident.

Soliman allegedly stated that he hoped he had “burned[sic] them all. I killed[sic] them all. This was my dream.”

Soliman faces nine hate crime charges and three explosive charges, including:

  • Nine counts of violating 18 U.S.C. § 249
  • Three counts of violating 18 U.S.C. § 844(h)

The indictment said that Soliman willfully caused bodily injury to the victims because of the actual and perceived national origin of any person, and that eight of the charges included an attempt to kill.

Soliman was also stated to have employed an explosive and incendiary device that contained components that traveled in interstate and foreign commerce; and his conduct otherwise affected interstate and foreign commerce.

He was previously charged by complaint with a federal hate crime offense on June 2.
