The individual suspected of domestic terrorism in Boulder, Colorado, had spent a year planning to throw Molotov cocktails during a peaceful pro-Israel march, as disclosed by court documents.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national with a visa issued during the Biden administration and set to expire in March 2025, informed federal authorities that the act of violence had been planned well in advance.
Based on the federal complaint, the suspect mentioned in an interview with authorities that he was delaying the attack until after his daughter’s graduation.
Law enforcement recovered at least 14 unlit Molotov cocktails, along with gasoline, red rags, and a weed sprayer that may have been intended for dispersing flammable liquid, according to the complaint.
Inside his vehicle were papers bearing the words “Israel,” “Palestine,” and “USAID,” authorities said.
A video later posted on X appeared to show the suspect shirtless and pacing, holding one of the makeshift weapons and shouting, “How many children killed?” followed by, “End Zionist.”
Law enforcement also searched Soliman’s home, where he said he had left a journal and an iPhone containing messages to his family. His wife later turned over the phone to authorities.
A storage unit behind the residence, linked to Soliman by a neighbor, was also investigated.
Soliman is charged with violating 18 U.S.C. §§ 249(a)(1) and (a)(2), federal hate crime statutes involving acts motivated by race, religion, or national origin.
