A man accused of firebombing a group of protesters advocating for the release of Israeli hostages in the US state of Colorado has now changed his plea to federal hate crime charges to guilty.

Prosecutors said Mohamed Sabry Soliman threw Molotov cocktails at the group of demonstrators in June 2025 - injuring at least 12 people, one of whom died.

He pleaded guilty in May to 101 state charges, including first-degree murder - resulting in a sentence of life in prison - but initially pleaded not guilty in the federal case.
