Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 46, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, pleaded guilty in federal court today to 12 hate crimes charges for using Molotov cocktails to attack members of the group Run for Their Lives and others.

As part of the plea agreement, Soliman admitted that on June 1, 2025, he lit and threw two Molotov cocktails into a gathering of the Boulder chapter of Run for Their Lives, a group that organized walks throughout the United States to raise awareness for hostages still held after the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks in Israel. Soliman further admitted that he targeted the group because of the victims’ actual or perceived Israeli national origin and Jewish religion. The attack killed one person and caused permanent and life-threatening injuries to several others.

“No one should be subjected to violence because of their religion or national origin,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “With this plea, we hope to deliver a measure of justice to the victims and their families. The Civil Rights Division remains committed to vigorously prosecuting the perpetrators of bias-motivated violence.”
