The number of “identified victims” in the fiery attack on a demonstration to support the Israeli hostages in Gaza has risen to 15, Boulder police said Wednesday.
The victims in what authorities are calling a targeted terror attack are 25 to 88 years old, eight female and seven male, police said in a social media post. They were injured when a man on Sunday tossed Molotov Cocktails at about 20 people marching to remember the captives still held by Hamas after the Oct. 7, 2023 border assault.
Suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, will appear before a Colorado judge Thursday to hear the raft of charges he could face. Those charges include 16 counts of attempted murder, 18 counts of possession of incendiary devices and related offenses, Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said. The attempted murder counts alone are punishable by up to 384 years in prison, he said.
He also faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if found guilty on a federal hate crime charge.
Soliman told investigators he wanted to “kill all Zionist people” and planned the attack for a year, according to court documents. He said he waited until after his daughter’s high school graduation, which took place May 29. His timing may provide little solace for the family − his wife and children were taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Tuesday and could be ushered out of the country within days.
