According to the FBI, the Boulder attacker was 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman of Colorado Springs. Federal authorities say he is an Egyptian national who applied for asylum in the United States in 2022. Soliman allegedly yelled “Free Palestine!” before throwing two lit Molotov cocktails at the Run for Their Lives demonstrators, and told police that he had planned the terroristic attack for a year and would do it again if he could. He also used what appeared to be a makeshift flamethrower, according to people at the scene.
The attacker allegedly told police he “wished they were all dead,” according to federal agents.
