Federal authorities have accused Mohamed Sabry Solamin, the suspect in the Boulder, Colorado terrorist incident, of committing a hate crime targeting race, religion, or national origin.

Soliman, aged 45, faces charges of first-degree murder, offenses against vulnerable adults/elderly, assault, attempted commission of class one and class two felonies, and using explosives or incendiary devices during a felony.

Soliman is said to have thrown explosives into a crowd on Sunday in Boulder during an event where a pro-Israel group, “Run for Their Lives,” was holding a demonstration on Pearl Street, urging Hamas to free Israeli hostages.

Federal charging documents state that he allegedly “threw two lit Molotov cocktails at individuals participating in a pro-Israel gathering near the Boulder Courthouse.”

Police responded to the area after receiving reports of a man with a weapon setting people on fire. 

“We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado,” FBI director Kash Patel said. “Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available.”

In a Monday update, Boulder police said no victims have died. The department will host a press conference later on Monday.

Soliman was living in the United States illegally after entering on a work visa two years ago that has since expired, according to federal officials.

Soliman was booked into the Boulder County Jail on Sunday evening and remains held on a $10 million bond.
