ALBAWABA - A Colorado court on Thursday charged a man accused of using a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to set people on fire at a rally commemorating Israeli hostages in Gaza, in addition to attempted murder and other crimes.
According to American media, state prosecutors said that Egyptian citizen Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, is facing more than 600 years in prison if convicted of up to 28 counts of attempted murder.
In addition, Reuters revealed that Soliman is accused of a total of 118 charges, including assault, use of incendiary equipment, and animal cruelty for injuring a dog in the attack that happened in Boulder, Colorado.
According to the FBI, a suspect threw an incendiary device into the group in Colorado and used a "makeshift flamethrower" to attack a group of people that regularly protest in support of Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip.
"The suspect was heard to yell 'Free Palestine' during the attack," a special agent in charge of the Denver field office of the FBI, Mark Michalek, revealed.
