Boulder firebombing suspect to plead guilty in state case

• The filing stated Mohammed Sabry Soliman would plead guilty to all charges and will be sentenced to life in prison without parole, plus 400 years.
• The Boulder County District Attorney's Office said it would not comment on possible plea agreements.

Between the lines: While Soliman's state case nears resolution, his federal hate crime case remains ongoing.

• According to an emergency motion, Soliman offered to plead guilty in the federal case in exchange for a life sentence.
• The motion is asking the judge in the case to prevent his family from being deported, arguing they could be required to testify in a death penalty case.
• Soliman has a November trial date set on the federal docket.

Catch up quick: A dozen people were injured on June 1, 2025, in downtown Boulder when, according to police, Soliman wielded a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails at a gathering of people who were advocating for the release of hostages held by Hamas.

• One of the victims, Karen Diamond, 82, died from related injuries several weeks after the attack.
• Soliman, 45, is an Egyptian national who officials say was living in the U.S. without legal status. Police said he had been planning the attack for about a year and wanted "to kill all Zionist people."

What's next: Soliman is set to appear in Boulder District Court at 9am Thursday.
