Mohamed Sabry Soliman, suspected of firebombing a pro-Israel rally in Colorado Sunday, appears in a Boulder County jail court for the first time since his arrest a day ago.
Soliman wears an orange jumpsuit and what appears to be a bandage wrapped around his head.
(Witness Alex Osante of San Diego has said that after the initial attack, the suspect went behind some bushes and then reemerged and threw a Molotov cocktail but apparently accidentally caught himself on fire as he threw it.)
Soliman does not make any statements, except affirming that he understands a protection order that bars him from contacting the victims of the attack.
The court schedules a June 5 hearing for the filing of formal charges against him.
