Court documents have revealed that the suspect involved in a domestic terrorism incident in Boulder, Colorado had spent a year preparing to throw Molotov cocktails at a peaceful pro-Israel march.
The suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national whose visa expired in March 2025, told authorities that the act of violence had been planned for a significant period of time.
According to the federal complaint, during an interview with federal authorities, the suspect mentioned that he had been waiting for his daughter’s graduation before proceeding with the planned attack.
Law enforcement recovered at least 14 unlit Molotov cocktails, along with gasoline, red rags, and a weed sprayer that may have been intended for dispersing flammable liquid, according to the complaint.
Inside his vehicle were papers bearing the words “Israel,” “Palestine,” and “USAID,” authorities said.
A video later posted on X appeared to show the suspect shirtless and pacing, holding one of the makeshift weapons and shouting, “How many children killed?” followed by, “End Zionist.”
Law enforcement also searched Soliman’s home, where he said he had left a journal and an iPhone containing messages to his family. His wife later turned over the phone to authorities.Â
A storage unit behind the residence, linked to Soliman by a neighbor, was also investigated.
Soliman is charged with violating 18 U.S.C. §§ 249(a)(1) and (a)(2), federal hate crime statutes involving acts motivated by race, religion, or national origin.Â
