ITS ORIGIN AND PURPOSE, STILL A TOTAL MYSTERY*: Suspect in Colorado Anti-Semitic Terror Attack Says He Wanted To ‘Kill All Zionist People.’
The suspect in Colorado’s anti-Semitic terror attack said Monday that he had planned the attack for a year, telling federal investigators that he “wanted to kill all Zionist people” and “would do it again.”
Mohamed Soliman, a 45-year-old illegal immigrant from Egypt, admitted during a police interview that he specifically targeted the Jewish group that gathered Sunday to raise awareness for Hamas’s hostages, according to an affidavit filed Monday.
The Justice Department on Monday charged Soliman with a federal hate crime. Soliman is also facing state charges of 384 years for 16 counts of attempted murder, 48 years for 2 counts of using an incendiary device, and 192 years for 16 counts of attempted use of an incendiary device, according to Boulder district attorney Michael Dougherty.
Terror charges have not been ruled out, according to acting U.S. attorney J. Bishop Grewell.
Soliman threw Molotov cocktails and used what the New York Times called a “makeshift flamethrower” on peaceful Boulder, Colo., demonstrators, injuring 12 victims, including a Holocaust survivor.
Investigators also found a black container nearby with 14 more Molotov cocktails.
The terror attack came just weeks after anti-Israel terrorist Elias Rodriguez murdered two Israeli embassy staffers, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, as the young couple left an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.
