An illegal immigrant from Egypt accused of injuring 12 people in a Molotov cocktail attack on a Jewish group was indicted Wednesday on federal hate crime charges.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, attacked Run for Their Lives, a Jewish group looking to raise awareness for hostages held by Hamas, on June 1 in Boulder, Colorado. He was charged with 12 hate crime counts after wounding 12 people with Molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower while shouting, “Free Palestine!”
Soliman quickly revealed the motive behind the attack as being anti-Israel. A document was recovered from Soliman’s vehicle describing Israel as a “cancer entity” and claiming, “Zionism is our enemies untill [sic] Jerusalem is liberated and they are expelled from our land,” according to the Department of Justice.
