Federal authorities at a preliminary hearing Wednesday afternoon testified the accused Boulder, Colorado Molotov bomber, illegal Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman, used Israeli flags to target victims and had the Muslim liberation year “1187” written on clothing items in his car.

Soliman, 45, is charged with multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, possession of incendiary devices, and more than a dozen counts of attempted use of an incendiary device in connection to the June 1 terror attack that injured 12 people.

He is also facing federal charges for allegedly committing a hate crime involving actual or perceived race, religion or national origin.

During testimony, Soliman, who was wearing a brown crew-neck t-shirt and an interpreter’s headset, slightly rocked in his seat and looked around the courtroom. While there were no cameras in the courtroom, a Fox News reporter noted he had a cast on his right hand.

After a brief recess, Judge Starnella said while there is debate around the second element of the statute—which is whether Soliman was motivated by national origin and how that is defined—she found probable cause for the case to move forward.

Starnella told Soliman’s attorneys she “understands that there is evidence that cuts against the national origin theory,” but said it is up to a jury to decide.

The court will reconvene June 27 for an arraignment and detention hearing. Soliman has not yet been indicted.
