Prosecutors set to present evidence against man charged with hate crime in Boulder attack
- Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, is charged with throwing Molotov cocktails on June 1 at peaceful protesters supporting Israeli hostages in Boulder, Colorado.
- Soliman planned the attack for about a year and targeted the demonstrators due to their perceived connection to Israel, not because they were Jewish.

- A Colorado federal judge ruled there is probable cause to proceed with hate crime charges, temporarily blocking deportation of Soliman's wife and five children pending further court dates.
