Man pleads guilty to federal hate crimes in deadly firebomb attack on Colorado demonstrators

DENVER (AP) — An Egyptian man faces an additional life sentence after pleading guilty Thursday to federal hate crime and other charges for a deadly firebombing attack on demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, last year.Mohamed Soliman is already serving life in prison after pleading guilty to state charges last spring. Federal prosecutors who previously said they would not seek the death penalty against Soliman said at his change-of-plea hearing they would seek a life term plus 50 years in prison for the dozen counts.Soliman spoke through an interpreter at the hearing and said little besides “yes” and “no” responses to the judge’s questioning, such as whether he understood the consequences of pleading guilty. Wearing a brown shirt and khaki-colored pants, Soliman was led out of court in handcuffs and shackles without looking at the victims in the courtroom.Yelling “Free Palestine,” Soliman lit and threw two Molotov cocktails at the demonstrators who were marching in support of hostages ta
