Who is Mohamed Sabry Soliman?

Mohamed Sabry Soliman has been identified as the suspect who attacked the Run for Their Lives march using a flamethrower and firebombs. The march was held to advocate for the release of all Israeli hostages.

Approximately 30 participants were present, and 12 individuals sustained injuries from the assault. Among those injured were four women and four men, aged between 52 and 88, including an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor. Fortunately, there were no fatalities.

Soliman was wearing a bulletproof vest, but took his shirt after he appeared to set himself on fire.

Video from the scene showed him shirtless while holding two clear bottles containing a clear liquid while he yelled at onlookers.

Soliman later admitted that he planned the attack for a year, wanting to target what he called a “Zionist group,” said the FBI.

Those wounded’s conditions range from “minor” to “very serious,” with at least one of the victims in critical condition.

‘Free Palestine’

The suspect was heard yelling “Free Palestine” during the attack, according to FBI’s special agent Mark Michalek.

As of June 3, 2025, Soliman faces charges in Colorado state court with 16 counts of first-degree attempted murder, and at the federal level, he has been charged with committing a hate crime.

Federal officials said that the Egyptian national illegally overstayed his visa before being issued a new work permit in the US.

Soliman first arrived in the US in August 2022 with a non-immigrant visa before being authorised to stay through to February 2023, but didn’t leave, per Fox News.

In September 2022, he filed a claim with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, granting him work authorisation in March 2023, which remained valid through March 2025.

Soliman was also injured during the attack and taken to hospital for treatment, but authorities didn’t elaborate on the nature of his injuries.

Soliman was described as an “illegal alien” by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

Miller also wrote on X: “The Biden Admin granted the alien a visa and then, when he illegally overstayed, they gave him a work permit.

“Immigration security is national security.

“No more hostile migration. Keep them out and send them back.”

Family & work

According to the NY Times, Soliman is married with five children.

He lived in Colorado Springs and reportedly worked for a ride share service.

Before carrying out the attack, Soliman said he left an iPhone with messages for his family and a journal hidden in a desk drawer, the affidavit revealed.

The contents of the notes to his family are unknown as of June 3, 2025.
