(Courthouse News) Prosecutors on Thursday filed 118 charges against a man arrested following an attack on Jewish demonstrators who regularly gather in Boulder, Colorado, to raise awareness of Israeli hostages being held captive by Hamas.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested on Sunday after he attacked 15 people and a dog with homemade explosives, according to prosecutors. Prosecutors say Soliman yelled “free Palestine” as he burned attendees at a “Run for Their Lives” event held June 1 at Boulder’s famed Pearl Street Mall.
Once taken into custody, court documents report that Soliman told investigators he had been planning to attack the “Zionist group” for a year, hoping to bring “vengeance for his people,” and that he learned how to make the explosives on YouTube.
