Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, wanted to carry out the Colorado attack after his daughter, Habiba Soliman, graduated from high school.

Overview

  • Mohamed Sabry Soliman faces 16 state counts of attempted murder, multiple incendiary device charges and a federal hate crime allegation while held on a $10 million bond.
  • Investigators say Soliman threw Molotov cocktails and used a makeshift flamethrower at a Run for Their Lives rally in Boulder on June 1, injuring 12 protesters aged 52 to 88.
  • On June 3, ICE took Soliman’s wife and five children into custody under expedited removal orders as officials probe their knowledge or support of the attack.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem labeled the incident an antisemitic terrorist act and vowed to prosecute Soliman to the fullest extent of the law.
  • Boulder residents held a vigil to support the victims and condemn rising antisemitic violence tied to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
