A man named Mohamed Sabry Soliman has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder after firebombing a protest in Colorado advocating for the release of Israeli hostages. The attack, which occurred last year, involved Soliman throwing Molotov cocktails at the crowd, injuring at least 12 people and resulting in one death. Authorities revealed that Soliman had planned the attack for a year, studying explosives before traveling from Colorado Springs to Boulder to target the event. He expressed a desire to “kill all Zionist people” upon his arrest. In addition to the state murder charge, Soliman faces a federal hate crime charge, to which he has pleaded not guilty. He was charged with over 100 criminal counts, including attempted murder and assault. This incident has heightened concerns about security among Jewish Americans following violent antisemitic attacks.
