An Egyptian national was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after pleading guilty to an antisemitic firebombing attack that killed an elderly woman in Boulder, Colorado.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an illegal immigrant from Egypt who overstayed his visa, confessed to killing one person and injuring at least a dozen others. Dressed in white and orange, Soliman, while <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/us/colorado-attack-soliman-life-sentence.html?smtyp=cur&amp;smid=tw-nytimes">railing against Zionism</a>, apologized in court and called his own crimes a violation of &#8220;the teachings of Islam,&#8221;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/colorado-fire-bombing-suspect-pleads-guilty-all-state-charges-2026-05-07/"> according to Reuters. </a>
In June 2025, Soliman used a makeshift flamethrower and firebombs to attack a demonstration by “Run for Their Lives Denver,” a group that holds marches calling for the release of hostages kidnapped by the terror group Hamas.
Authorities said Soliman spent a year planning the attack. He disguised himself as a gardener to get close to the group before throwing Molotov cocktails at the marchers and shouting <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ice-seizes-wife-5-kids-of-terrorist-who-firebombed-pro-israel-crowd">“Free Palestine.” </a>
He later told investigators he<a href="https://www.adl.org/resources/article/familiar-attempts-justify-and-downplay-antisemitic-violence-follow-latest-attack"> &#8220;wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead.” </a>
The attack killed 82-year-old Karen Diamond and injured more than a dozen others, <a href="https://abcnews.com/US/holocaust-survivor-boulder-attack-victims/story?id=122409895">including a Holocaust survivor</a>. A <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/05/07/boulder-firebombing-attack-guilty/">dog died from severe burns.</a>
District Attorney Michael Dougherty said the attack sowed <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/us/colorado-attack-soliman-life-sentence.html?smtyp=cur&amp;smid=tw-nytimes">“terror, fear and death.” </a>
During sentencing, victims delivered emotional impact statements. 
“When I’m alone and close my eyes, I can vividly see Karen’s body in flames,” Orrie Gartner, who was at the march,<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/us/colorado-attack-soliman-life-sentence.html"> said in court.</a>
Judge Nancy Salomone sentenced Soliman to the maximum penalty of life in prison without the possibility of parole, adding on 2,128 years for 101 total charges, including attempted murder, assault, and criminal use of explosives and ​incendiary devices.
“You chose to victimize these people because they were members of the Jewish community,” Judge Salomone said.
Soliman entered the United States in August 2022 on a tourist visa that expired in February 2023, according to the Department of Homeland Security. He applied for asylum in September 2022 and later received temporary work authorization in March 2023, though it later expired, according to DHS. 
He had been living in Colorado Springs with his wife and five children, who were later taken into custody by federal immigration agents, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/suspect-in-colorado-attack-on-pro-israel-demonstration-is-in-u-s-illegally-report?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=41&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Suspect+In+Colorado+Attack+On+Pro-Israel+Demonstration+Is+In+U.S.+Illegally%3A+Report">The Daily Wire previously reported.</a>
Soliman still faces separate federal hate crimes charges that could carry a life sentence or capital punishment. 
&#8220;I ask the prosecution from ​the federal case to impose the death penalty,&#8221; <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/colorado-fire-bombing-suspect-pleads-guilty-all-state-charges-2026-05-07/">he said</a> through an Arabic interpreter.
