@Source: cnbc.com
Authorities who searched Soliman's 2015 Toyota Prius found a red gas container inside, and "paperwork with the words, 'Israel,' 'Palestine,' and 'USAID,' " which is the acronym for the U.S. Agency for International Development, the affidavit said "Soliman as placed under arrest and a mirandized interview was conducted by local and federal law enforcement," the affidavit said. "During the interview, Soliman stated that he researched on YouTube how to make Molotov Cocktails, purchased the ingredients to do so, and constructed them," the agent wrote. " He traveled to Boulder, Colorado in his vehicle with the Molotov cocktails and threw two of the cocktails at individuals participating in a pro-Israel gathering. He also stated that he picked up gas at a gas station on the way to Boulder," the affidavit said. "He stated that he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead." "Soliman stated he would do it (conduct an attack) again. He specifically targeted the 'Zionist Group' that had gathered in Boulder having learned about the group from an online search." "Throughout the interview, Soliman stated that he hated the Zionist group and did this because he hated this group and needed to stop them from taking over 'our land,' which he explained to be Palestine," the affidavit said. "He stated that he had been planning the attack for a year and was waiting until after his daughter graduated to conduct the attack." Shortly before the federal hate crime charge was revealed, President Donald Trump condemned the attack and blamed former President Joe Biden for a border policy that Trump said allowed entry to the accused assailant. "Yesterday's horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America," Trump wrote in a social media post. "He came in through Biden's ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly," Trump wrote. "He must go out under "TRUMP" Policy. Acts of Terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law." "This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland. My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy, and the Great People of Boulder, Colorado!" Soliman was in the United States illegally on an expired work permit, according to the White House. This is breaking news. Please refresh for updates.
