What we know about Colorado firebombsuspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman

Suspected Colorado  terrorist Mohamed Sabry Soliman is a married dad who allegedly harbored hatred against Jews and told cops he waited until his daughter graduated  high school to carry out his fiendish plot.Soliman, 45, of Colorado Springs — about 100 miles south of Boulder where the attacks took place — left messages to his wife and five children hidden in a desk drawer before he left to carry out the attack, which he later told cops had been in the works for more than a year, authorities said.He is currently facing federal hate crime charges for perpetrating the monstrous firebomb attack Sunday afternoon on a group of people who gather once a week to remember the Israelis still being held hostage by Hamas.During an interview with investigators after his arrest, Soliman voiced hateful views about Jewish people, stating he wanted to “kill all Zionist people” and that he “wished they all were dead.” However he said he kept a lid on his murderous urges until his daughter’s high school graduation, at which point he allegedly went through with the plot.The target of his ire was the group Run For Their Lives, a pro-Israel group who organizes weekly walks in solidarity with Israeli hostages still held by Hamas.Soliman told cops he found out about the group from their Facebook search and knew where they would be on the day of the attack.He told cops his hatred of “Zionists” was because he needed to stop them from taking over “our land” — which he explained meant Palestine.
