Driven by Hatred, Gardener Turned Attacker Unleashes Terror in Colorado's Jewish Protest

Premeditated Assault on U.S. Jewish Protest Gathering

Growing tension in Colorado reaches a boiling point as a 45-year-old Egyptian, later identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, unleashes chaos at a peaceful Jewish demonstration.

After a heinous attack with Molotov cocktails on a demonstration in Boulder, the number of hurt has climbed to twelve. The authorities announced that they've identified four more victims, bringing the total to twelve. Soliman, in disguise as a gardener, hurled two Molotov cocktails at the crowd, demonstrators protesting for the hostages held in Gaza by the Islamic Hamas.

Soliman's assault struck not only the community but also history, as some of the victims were over 80 years old and included a Holocaust survivor. Instead of condemning his actions, Soliman himself declared "Free Palestine" during the attack. Witnesses reported he even used a flamethrower. Despite the chaos, only two remain hospitalized while four others have minor injuries that were reported later.

"I wish they were all dead"

After his capture at the scene, Soliman was found with an additional 16 Molotov cocktails, indicating a much larger scope to his terror. Soliman had entered the U.S. in 2022 on a tourist visa but was, at the time of the attack, an unauthorized resident.

Investigators chip away at his motivation, accessing the interrogation details in a court document. "He wished they were all dead," officials stated, revealing Soliman's remorseless intentions. They've also detailed his months-long planning for the attack, inquiring about firearms and quickly shifting towards creating Molotov cocktails.

Outrage was soon stirred by his cruel intentions, as Soliman showed no remorse and even voiced his willingness to commit such an attack again if given the chance. A hate crime on a federal level, with a potential life sentence, awaits him.

Politics and the Case

Federal authorities charge Soliman with multiple offenses, including the use of Molotov cocktails, attempted murder in several cases, and a federal hate crime. Leading figures within the U.S. government, including President Donald Trump, voiced concern, speaking of terrorism.
