The man accused of launching an "antisemitic attack" that injured at least 12 protesters with a "makeshift flamethrower" and Molotov cocktails in downtown Boulder on Sunday had "no regrets" and wanted his targets to die, Colorado officials said.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, posed as a gardener to get closer to the group of Jewish protesters, police and prosecutors said at a news conference Monday as the city's Jewish community reels from the attack.

The city of Boulder said in a statement Monday night that it was a "targeted, antisemitic attack."

Authorities said eight of the victims, ranging in age from 52 to 88, were admitted to the hospital with burns. One is a Holocaust survivor, according to a local rabbi. None have been identified publicly.
