House circulated this statement from the CIA on social media.

Mohamed Suleiman is charged with a dozen counts, mostly hate crimes, for allegedly throwing firebombs at people peacefully trying to raise awareness for Israeli hostages on a pedestrian mall. Federal prosecutors say he targeted the group because he perceived them to be Zionist and because of their, quote, national origin.
