Suspected Colorado terrorist Mohamed Sabry Soliman may have had USAID paperwork stashed in his car when he was nabbed over the heinous antisemitic firebombing plot in Boulder, the feds said.
The papers brandishing the name of the US Agency for International Development were among the trove of items discovered inside the 45-year-old Egyptian national’s 2015 silver Toyota Prius soon after he allegedly hurled gasoline bombs at a peaceful pro-Israel march on Sunday, court papers charge.
The beleaguered foreign aid agency once gave a Gaza-based nonprofit tied to the son of a Hamas leader nearly $1 million in aid — with one grant arriving less than a week before the Oct. 7 terrorist strikes on Israel.
Suspected Colorado terrorist Mohamed Sabry Soliman allegedly had apparent “USAID” paperwork stashed in his car when he was nabbed over the heinous antisemitic firebombing plot in Boulder.
Other files located inside Soliman’s vehicle featured the words “Israel” and “Palestine,” according to the arrest affidavit.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the word “USAID” had just been scrawled on a sheet of paper — or if the so-called paperwork was officially tied to the agency, which was recently shuttered by the State Department as part of the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) cost-cutting actions.
The complaint didn’t offer up any additional details on the paperwork.
Mohamed Soliman entered the US on an visitor’s visa, then made an application for asylum which was denied. ReutersThe discovery was made after Soliman allegedly wounded eight people when he tossed Molotov cocktails at a group as they were holding their weekly demonstration for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza, cops said.

Video footage captured the hate-filled suspect in the middle of a wild rant as he started tossing the homemade incendiary devices.
At least 16 gasoline-filled Molotov cocktails were found near where the shirtless suspect was detained, according to authorities.
A weed sprayer filled with gasoline was also found at the scene, while a gasoline canister was discovered in his vehicle in the aftermath, the complaint states.
Soliman, who told investigators that he wanted to “kill all Zionist people,” had planned his attack for a year, prosecutors said.

“When he was interviewed about the attack, he said he wanted them all to die, he had no regrets and he would go back and do it again,” Acting US Attorney J. Bishop Grewell for the District of Colorado said.
Federal and state prosecutors filed separate criminal cases against Soliman, charging him with a hate crime and attempted murder, respectively.
He faces additional state charges related to the incendiary devices, and more charges are possible in federal court.
Soliman is being held on a $10 million cash-only bond.
