A man accused of throwing Molotov cocktails into a Colorado group that had gathered to bring attention to Israeli hostages in Gaza planned the attack for more than a year and specifically targeted what he described as a “Zionist group,” authorities said in court papers unsealed Monday charging him with a federal hate crime.

Witnesses in Boulder said the suspect, Mohammed Sabry Soliman, 45, yelled “Free Palestine” and used a makeshift flamethrower and incendiary devices. Eight people were injured in the attack, some with burns, as a group was concluding their weekly demonstration.

An FBI affidavit says Soliman confessed to the attack after being taken into custody Sunday and told the police he would do it again.

    Oh shit! I was thinking about the other lefty zionist killer. You’re right, this is the zionist attacker who’s commitment to communism and anarchy are unknown and whose right to buy a gun was denied because he’s not a legal resident.

    Apologies! Totally different guy.

    Although they did mention Elias in there, so - half credit?
