Family of terrorist who hurled Molotov cocktails at pro-Israel demonstrators detained by US immigration cops

The family of a terrorist suspect who threw Molotov cocktails at pro-Israel activists were detained by immigration cops. Mohamed Sabry Soliman 's wife and five kids were yesterday seized by the Department of Homeland Security after it emerged he illegally outstayed his US visa. 2 2 Egyptian national Soliman, 45, reportedly injured 12 people, including an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, on Sunday. The suspect yelled 'you all deserve to die' and 'Free Palestine' in Boulder, Colorado, at American Jews calling for the return of Israeli hostages. The shirtless fiend used an improvised flamethrower and petrol bombs, leaving several victims with severe burns, in the attack at a busy shopping centre in Boulder, Colorado. Kristi Noem of the DHS said: 'This terrorist will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. 'We are investigating to what extent his family knew about this attack. 'I am continuing to pray for the victims of this attack and their families.' Soliman will be charged tomorrow, including with 16 counts of attempted murder. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has blamed his predecessor, Joe Biden, for allowing Soliman to illegally overstay a tourist visa. Prosecutors believe he had planned the attack for a year and was only put off by waiting for one of his daughters to graduate from high school. Soliman was born in Egypt and lived in Kuwait for 17 years before moving to Colorado, where he worked as an Uber driver, in August 2022.
