Overview
- Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 46, received life without parole Thursday after pleading guilty to 101 state charges for the 2025 attack in Boulder.
- Prosecutors said he threw two Molotov cocktails while yelling "Free Palestine," killing 82-year-old Karen Diamond and injuring more than a dozen people.
- Investigators say he planned the assault for about a year and brought additional incendiary devices, including a gasoline sprayer used as a makeshift flamethrower.
- A 12-count federal hate-crime case remains open, and prosecutors are considering capital punishment after his offer to plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence.
- His ex-wife and five children were detained by immigration officials for months and may be kept in the U.S. as potential witnesses if a federal death-penalty phase occurs.
