Man sentenced to life in prison for firebombing pro-Israel demonstrators in Colorado

Friday, 8 May 2026, 06:23 · 1 min read

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national living in the US without documentation, has been sentenced to life in prison without parole after pleading guilty to a June 2025 firebombing attack on a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado (a city in the western United States). Soliman threw Molotov cocktails at roughly 20 participants gathered at Boulder's Pearl Street pedestrian mall in support of Israeli hostages in Gaza, killing an 82-year-old woman and injuring a dozen others; investigators allege he had planned the attack for a year, driven by a desire to "kill all Zionist people." He has separately pleaded not guilty to federal hate crime charges, and prosecutors are still weighing whether to seek the death penalty in that case.
