Mohamed Soliman: who the hell is he? New details emerge on Boulder terror suspect WITH UPDATE

Alright, let’s cut through the noise. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old living in El Paso County, Colorado, is the guy cops say went full jihad at a pro-Israel event in Boulder. 

This dude allegedly chucked Molotov cocktails into a crowd of what he rightly believed were Jews and turned a weed sprayer into a damn flamethrower, leaving eight people with burns. Here’s the kicker: he told investigators he “wanted to kill all Zionist people” [read: 'Jews'] and was itching to do it again if he got the chance, per a federal affidavit. 

 
Soliman got nabbed Sunday afternoon at Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall, where he went after a group pushing for the release of Israeli hostages being held by Hamassholes and their sympathizers in Gaza. Cops found 14 unlit Molotov cocktails near the scene, plus that gasoline-filled sprayer. The feds are slapping him with a hate crime charge, and the affidavit paints a grim picture of what was going through his head. 

And while the weak-knee police chief Stephen RedFEARn refused to call it a hate crime, Soliman straight-up admitted that he “hated the ‘Zionist group’” and wanted to stop them from taking over “our land,” which he called Palestine, a land of make believe. The anti-Semite scumcrumpet planned this for a year, waiting until his daughter graduated to pull it off, the affidavit says.

 
This alleged terrorist is a father of five. He came to the U.S. on a B-2 tourist visa in August 2022, which expired over two years ago, according to DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. This means, of course, that he is here illegally. CBS and Fox News cite unnamed sources claimed the guy's Egyptian, and his external appearance seems to suggest that. For now, he’s cooling his heels in custody on a $10 million bond, with a hearing set for 1:30 p.m. local time.

 
What Happened in Boulder?

Police got the call at 1:26 p.m. Sunday about a nutcase attacking a peaceful weekly event at the Pearl Street Mall, where Israel supporters were advocating for the release of the Gaza hostages. 

Witnesses say the Hamasshole sympathizer was screaming “free Palestine” while throwing an incendiary device and spraying flames. Twelve people were injured and of these, four men, four women, ages 52 to 88, were taken to Denver-area hospitals with burns, per Boulder PD.

 
FBI’s Denver boss, Mark Michalek, called it a “targeted act of violence” and said the bureau’s treating it as terrorism, because by definition, that's what terrorism is. Of course they didn't call it anti-Semitic terrorism, but that's typical, isn't it?

They found a Toyota Prius nearby with red rags, a jug of gas, and papers scribbled with “Israel,” “Palestine,” and “USAID.” Soliman admitted to learning how to make Molotov cocktails on YouTube, buying the stuff, and building them himself, the affidavit says. Thankfully he didn't see the YouTube video "How to make a bomb in the kitchen of your Mom," but I believe that's been taken down finally.

 
Visa Overstay and Asylum Gambit

McLaughlin says Soliman’s tourist visa ran out in February 2023, six months after he showed up. He applied for asylum in September 2022, and with the immigration court backlog at 3.6 million cases (per Syracuse University’s TRAC), that claim’s probably still sitting in limbo. B-2 visas are for short-term stuff like vacations or medical visits, but this guy clearly wasn’t here for a ski trip and he sure as hell wasn't needing asylum, like many of those who come into the country.

 
On X, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller called Soliman an “illegal alien” and ripped the Biden administration, claiming they gave him a work permit after his visa expired. No confirmation on that permit, but imagine if that's true.

 
Messages to His Family

Soliman told cops he left an iPhone hidden in a desk drawer at his Colorado Springs home, where he lives with his adoring wife and five kids, along with a journal. His wife handed over the iPhone 14 to the Colorado Springs PD, and FBI agents later raided the house. The FBI’s Denver office posted on X they were “conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity” but didn’t reveal what they found.

 
Lone Wolf or Something More?

Boulder Police Chief Stephen RedFEARn says they’re “fairly confident” Soliman acted alone, but they’re still digging. Michalek backed that up, saying there’s no link yet to a bigger network or group, though the feds are leaving no stone unturned. “This will be a thorough and complete investigation,” he said.

What’s Next for Charges?

Boulder County DA Michael Doherty’s teaming up with the U.S. attorney’s office to figure out the exact charges. “There are a couple different options,” he said, but promised they’re “100%” united in making sure Soliman faces the music.

 
This is a developing mess, and the feds are tight-lipped about what’s next. One thing’s clear: this wasn’t some spur-of-the-moment tantrum. Soliman had hate in his heart and a plan in his head. Stay tuned—this one’s far from over.

President Trump reacted to the attack on Monday saying: 

"Yesterday’s horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America," Trump posted on TRUTH Social. "He came in through Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly. He must go out under "TRUMP" Policy. Acts of Terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland."

"My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy, and the Great People of Boulder, Colorado!" Trump added.

UPDATE: Soliman now charged with federal hate crime, planned anti-Semitic attack for a year, FBI says
