Boulder Attack: Egyptian National Charged with Hate Crime, 14 Molotov Cocktails Found

Boulder Attack: Egyptian National Charged with Hate Crime A significant event unfolded in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday, resulting in injuries to eight individuals. Authorities have swiftly apprehended and charged Mohamed Soloman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national, with a federal hate crime. The attack involved what law enforcement described as a 'makeshift flamethrower'. The investigation has revealed crucial details about the incident. According to the affidavit, a search of Soloman's Palm Springs home uncovered 14 Molotov cocktails, constructed from glass wine carafes and mason jars, filled with gasoline. A backpack sprayer, similar to those used by gardeners, was also found, also containing gasoline. This evidence strongly suggests premeditation. "One of the stunning tidbits that is coming out of this affidavit," stated the reporter, "is that authorities are saying that after taking him into custody they were able to locate a black plastic container nearby, and inside were at least 14 Molotov cocktails." This indicates careful planning and preparation for the attack. Furthermore, authorities report that Soloman had written a note to his family before driving to Boulder. This note, along with the discovery of the Molotov cocktails and backpack sprayer, paints a clear picture of a premeditated and planned act of violence. The suspect is scheduled for his first court appearance soon. The incident underscores the importance of vigilance and the need for swift action by law enforcement in preventing such acts of violence.
