Boulder Attack Foiled: Man Charged with Hate Crime, 16 Counts of Attempted Murder

Boulder Attack Foiled: 45-Year-Old Man Charged with Hate Crime and Attempted Murder A planned attack in Boulder, Colorado, was thwarted by law enforcement, leading to the arrest of Mohamed Sabry Solomon, a 45-year-old man. Solomon faces charges of hate crime and 16 counts of attempted murder following the discovery of 16 Molotov cocktails and a weed killer filled with flammable liquid near the intended target. The suspect confessed to planning the attack for a year, stating, "I wanted them all to die." The video evidence, combined with official statements, paints a clear picture of a premeditated and potentially deadly attack. The incident highlights the ongoing concerns about hate-motivated violence and the importance of community vigilance. Authorities also revealed that Solomon, an Egyptian national, was in the country illegally after his work permit expired in March. This raises questions about potential security gaps and the ease with which individuals with extremist views can operate within the community. The investigation is ongoing, and the community is left to grapple with the gravity of the situation and the potential consequences had the attack been successful. The swift action by law enforcement prevented a tragedy and underscores the importance of reporting suspicious activity.
