Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the man who has allegedly admitted to attacking a march in support of the Israeli hostages in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday, waited to carry out the attack until his daughter had graduated, according to new FBI documents.
Soliman reportedly told the FBI that “he had been planning the attack for a year and was waiting until after his daughter graduated to conduct the attack.”
He also told authorities that he researched on YouTube how to make Molotov Cocktails, purchased the ingredients to do so, and constructed them prior to traveling to Boulder. He stated that he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead, according to the FBI.
Six victims, aged 67 to 88, were transported to local hospitals after Soliman used a “makeshift flamethrower” and hurled “an incendiary device” into the crowd. All six victims are reportedly still being treated, with one listed as seriously injured.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
