A man accused of yelling “Free Palestine” and throwing Molotov cocktails at demonstrators calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza was charged Thursday with 118 counts, including attempted murder, assault, cruelty to animals and explosives crimes in a Colorado court.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, who has been jailed since his arrest following Sunday's attack, was advised of the charges during a hearing in Boulder, where he appeared in person.
The 118 counts include attempt to commit murder, assault in the first and third degrees, use of explosive or incendiary devices and animal cruelty.
He has also been charged with a hate crime in federal court and is jailed on a $10 million cash bond.
Soliman’s attorney, Kathryn Herold, waived a formal reading of the charges Thursday in court.
A preliminary hearing has been set for July 15 to determine whether the state has enough evidence to move forward.
Authorities have said 15 people and a dog were victims of the attack. Not all were physically injured, and some are considered victims for the legal case because they were in the area and could potentially have been hurt.
