Man to plead guilty in Colorado firebombing attack on pro-Israel demonstrators
He faces life without parole plus at least 400 years after prosecutors said he planned the attack for more than a year.
- On Thursday, Mohamed Sabry Soliman will plead guilty to all state charges in Boulder County District Court, including first-degree murder and more than 184 counts stemming from the June 1, 2025, firebombing attack.
- Soliman attacked a Run for Their Lives demonstration using a commercial-grade weed sprayer as a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails, shouting "Free Palestine" while investigators say he intended to kill roughly 20 participants.
- The attack killed 82-year-old Karen Diamond and injured 13 others; under the plea agreement, Soliman faces life in prison without the possibility of parole plus at least 400 years.
- Soliman's ex-wife, Hayam El Gamal, and five children faced deportation, but federal public defenders filed a motion arguing their testimony is essential for the pending federal hate-crime case.
- Prosecutors continue weighing whether to pursue the death penalty for nine federal hate-crime acts, with Soliman's federal trial currently scheduled for July.
