June 6 (UPI) -- Mohamed Soliman is scheduled to appear in federal court in Colorado Friday, facing hate crime charges for allegedly carrying out an anti-Semitic attack in Boulder, Colo.
Friday's appearance in U.S. District Court for Colorado comes a day after state officials filed their own set of 118 criminal counts, including 28 first-degree attempted murder charges.
Soliman, 45, is appearing in U.S. District Court in Colorado less than a week after he reportedly used "makeshift flamethrower" and home-made Molotov cocktails to attack 14 people in a pro-Israel run meant to support the release of hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza.
Authorities allege Soliman, who came to the United States legally from Egypt in 2022, yelled "Free Palestine" during the attack, according to an affidavit.
