Colorado Fire-Bombing Suspect Pleads Guilty to All State Charges
He faces up to life in prison without parole, while prosecutors weigh whether to seek the death penalty in the federal case.
- On Thursday, Mohamed Sabry Soliman pleaded guilty in Boulder County District Court to murder and other charges stemming from his June 1, 2025, firebombing attack in downtown Boulder.
- Investigators allege Soliman targeted a pro-Israel rally on Pearl Street, tossing Molotov cocktails at roughly 20 participants while yelling "Free Palestine!" to harm the demonstration attendees.
- The attack killed 82-year-old Karen Diamond and injured a dozen others, with prosecutors identifying 29 total victims who were targeted or nearby during the firebombing.
- Soliman faces life in prison without the possibility of parole for state charges, though he maintains a not-guilty plea regarding separate federal hate crime charges.
- Defense attorneys argue the attack "was profoundly inconsistent" with Soliman's prior conduct, while federal prosecutors allege victims were targeted for their connection to Israel.
