Mohamed Soliman, the suspect accused of attacking a group of protesters with Molotov cocktails in Boulder, Colorado, appeared in federal court for a hate crime charge. He is also facing various state crime charges for the attack that left 15 people injured.

Eight people at an outdoor mall in Boulder, Colo., calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza were injured on Sunday by a man police say attacked a crowd with makeshift incendiary devices and a flamethrower.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian immigrant who officials say was living in the U.S. illegally after overstaying a tourist visa, also faces a federal hate crime count.
