Mohammed Sabry Soliman’s lawyer argued that his alleged victims were targeted for their political views, not their ancestry.

Federal prosecutors are expected to lay out their evidence on Wednesday against a man who told investigators he was driven by a desire “to kill all Zionist people” when he threw Molotov cocktails at demonstrators raising awareness of Israeli hostages.

The man charged with committing a terror attack in Boulder appeared in federal court. Mohamed Soliman is facing dozens of state and federal charges, including a hate crime charge.
