Egyptian national accused of 'setting people on fire' charged with hate crime

A man arrested in Boulder, Colorado for a "suspected act of terrorism" has been charged with federal hate crime charges, along with 16 counts of state attempted murder. The attacker, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national, was filmed throwing Molotov cocktails while shouting "Free Palestine" at a public event called Run for their Lives, which was supporting Israeli hostages in Gaza. The attack occurred on Sunday. BBC News has assembled a video recounting the terrifying incident.
