Arrest Warrant Unveils Allegations Against Boulder Suspect

The arrest warrant has shed light on serious allegations involving a conspiracy against Boulder, Colorado, including suspected acts of terrorism. The individual in question is said to have coordinated with a group centered around a specific patient community.

The suspect allegedly employed makeshift flamethrowers and Molotov cocktails, targeting participants from a group known as Run for Thirs Thirs Live. This organization reportedly meets weekly to support hostages taken by Hamas since October 2023.

A statement in the warrant indicates that the suspect, who allegedly remarked, “He’d go back and do it again and never regret doing what he did,” has made disturbing claims about his intentions.

The violent attack on Sunday led to injuries for 12 individuals, with two remaining in the hospital; one of those victims is in serious condition. Thankfully, there have been no fatalities reported.

The district attorney’s affidavit revealed that 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national, faces numerous charges, including eight counts of first-degree attempted murder and other allegations related to first-degree assault and possessing an incendiary device.

According to the arrest warrant, Soliman’s motivations were framed as “vengeance on his people.”

Reports suggest that Soliman meticulously planned this assault for almost a year, waiting specifically for his oldest daughter to graduate from high school, which reportedly happened just last week.

He allegedly came across the group online, labeling them as a “Zionist” organization, and supposedly stated that they were “running for their lives.”

The warrant notes: “Mohamed has expressed hatred towards Zionist organizations that support and fund bombings in Palestine.” He went on to declare that anyone who supports the existence of Israel is, in his eyes, a Zionist.

However, Soliman attempted to clarify that his attack was aimed specifically at those Zionist groups, asserting that they aren’t representative of the Jewish community and that they endorse violence against Palestinians.

In preparation for his attack, he is alleged to have procured materials for creating Molotov cocktails, learning how to make them from YouTube videos. The warrant also revealed that he had crafted a homemade flamethrower prior to traveling to Boulder.

Interestingly, the use of the incendiary device was reportedly a last-minute decision, as Soliman claimed he resorted to Molotov cocktails after being unable to purchase a firearm due to his immigration status. He had taken a concealed carry class but felt out of place when denied the chance to buy a gun.

On the day of the attack, witnesses indicated that he arrived disguised as a gardener, complete with an orange vest and a backpack filled with flowers.

Soliman mentioned he had filled his backpack with a gas canister, as he purportedly planned to die during the attack.

He allegedly expressed a desire for the protesters to “die,” reinforcing that he was prepared to repeat his actions without regret. He viewed the attack as “revenge” because, in his opinion, the Zionist group prioritized “profits, money, and power” over the thousands of Palestinian hostages.

Soliman maintains that he acted independently and that no one was aware of his intentions.

If convicted, he could face a staggering 624 years in prison, alongside additional charges of a federal hate crime as outlined by the FBI.

On Tuesday afternoon, reports emerged that immigration officials had detained Soliman’s wife and children, with their immigration status currently unclear.

In a response to the situation, DHS featured a statement highlighting the actions taken against Soliman’s family. It elaborated on the ongoing investigations to determine their level of awareness regarding the suspect’s heinous actions.

DHS expressed their commitment to ensuring that justice is served for the victims of the attack and their families.
