(Fox) Federal authorities at a preliminary hearing Wednesday afternoon testified the accused Boulder, Colorado, Molotov bomber, illegal Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman, used Israeli flags to target victims and had the Muslim liberation year “1187” written on clothing [and other] items in his car.
Soliman, 45, is charged with multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, possession of incendiary devices, and more than a dozen counts of attempted use of an incendiary device in connection to the June 1 terror attack that injured 12 people.
He is also facing federal charges for allegedly committing a hate crime involving actual or perceived race, religion or national origin.
During the hearing in a Denver federal courtroom, government attorney Melissa Hindman argued there is evidence to support the hate crime charge, specifically for targeting national origin.
