科罗拉多州Boulder燃烧瓶袭击案：Soliman承认致死仇恨犯罪等12项联邦罪名，袭击致1死7伤
科罗拉多州博尔德县 Boulder 市的联邦检察官办公室宣布，埃及籍男子 Mohamed Sabry Soliman（47岁）10月29日在联邦法院认罪，承认一项致死仇恨犯罪、另外八项仇恨犯罪及三项爆炸物罪名，并承认其袭击是针对受害群体的犹太宗教与以色列国籍出身。
根据认罪协议，2025年6月1日，Soliman 在 Boulder 市 Pearl Street Mall 的历史县法院门前，向 Run for Their Lives 当地分会的人群投掷两枚点燃的燃烧瓶，该团体在全美各地组织步行活动，为2023年10月7日袭击以色列事件中被扣押的人质呼吁关注。他投掷时高喊“Free Palestine”。
Soliman 承认其意图是尽可能多地杀人。他为袭击做了多步准备，包括购买材料、自制十多枚燃烧瓶（装满汽油并塞入布条作引信的玻璃罐），以及一个装满汽油的背负式除草喷雾器，其中大部分未能成功使用。Boulder 警局警员赶到现场将其逮捕。
袭击造成 Karen Sorin Diamond 全身严重烧伤，在医院痛苦治疗三周多后身亡。袭击还造成在场另外七人重伤，其中包括 Diamond 的丈夫在内的数人严重烧伤、在医院康复数周，其他人则目睹了现场受到心理创伤。
科罗拉多区联邦检察官 Peter McNeilly 表示，Soliman 已亲口承认，他对 Boulder 邻里的仇恨袭击是反犹主义行为；所有美国人都应能自由地践行自己的信仰与生活方式，而不必担心人身安全；反犹主义侵蚀维系国家的共同纽带，在美国没有立足之地。检方感谢受害者与 Boulder 社区的信任与支持。
本案量刑定于2027年1月7日，由联邦高级地区法官 John L. Kane 主持听证。案件由联邦调查局（FBI）丹佛外地办事处与 Boulder 警局调查，助理联邦检察官 Melissa Hindman 与 Daniel Pastor 在司法部民权司刑事科审判律师 Sarah Howard 与 Khalil Quinan 协助下负责起诉，案号 1:25-cr-00194-JLK。
Boulder Firebomb Attacker Soliman Pleads Guilty to 12 Federal Counts Including Hate Crime Resulting in Death; Attack Killed 1, Injured 7
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado announced that Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 47, an Egyptian national, pleaded guilty in federal court on October 29 to one hate crime resulting in death, eight additional hate crime charges, and three explosives charges, admitting that he committed the attack because of the actual or perceived Jewish religion and Israeli national origin of the group he targeted.
According to the plea agreement, on June 1, 2025, Soliman threw two lit Molotov cocktails at members of the Boulder chapter of Run for Their Lives, a group that organized walks in cities across the United States to raise awareness for the hostages held following the October 7, 2023, attack in Israel. The group was assembled in front of the historic Boulder County Courthouse on Boulder's Pearl Street Mall, and Soliman yelled "Free Palestine" as he threw the Molotov cocktails.
Soliman admitted that his intent was to kill as many people as possible. He took several steps to plan the attack, including purchasing components and building over a dozen Molotov cocktails — glass jars filled with gasoline and stuffed with rags to act as a wick — and a weed sprayer backpack filled with gasoline, much of which he did not successfully deploy. Boulder Police Department officers responded and arrested him at the scene.
The attack took the life of Karen Sorin Diamond, who suffered severe burns to every part of her body and succumbed to her injuries after over three weeks of treatment in the hospital. The attack also caused significant injuries to seven other people in front of the courthouse. Several of them, including Karen Diamond's husband, were severely burned and spent weeks recovering in the hospital, while others were traumatized by what they witnessed.
"By his own admissions, Mohamed Soliman's hateful attack on our neighbors in Boulder was antisemitic," said U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado Peter McNeilly. "All Americans should feel free to pursue their faith and way of life without fear that doing so will put their personal safety at risk. Antisemitism erodes the common ties that bind our great nation together and there is no place for it in America."
Sentencing is scheduled for January 7, 2027, before U.S. Senior District Judge John L. Kane. The case was investigated by the FBI Denver Field Division and the Boulder Police Department, and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Melissa Hindman and Daniel Pastor with the assistance of Trial Attorneys Sarah Howard and Khalil Quinan of the Justice Department Civil Rights Division's Criminal Section. Case number 1:25-cr-00194-JLK.
