Wife of Boulder firebombing suspect begs Americans for help while judge delays deportation
The wife of accused Boulder, Colorado attacker and illegal Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman released her first public statement pleading for the American people's help after a Texas US District Court judge on Wednesday ruled the family will be allowed to remain in the country pending deportation efforts. Soliman, 45, is accused of injuring more than a dozen people after throwing Molotov cocktails into a crowd of peaceful pro-Israel demonstrators, while yelling, 'Free Palestine.' Following the attack, federal authorities detained Soliman's wife, Hayem El Gamal, and five children, who lived about two hours away in Colorado Springs. A Colorado judge ruled last week that since El Gamal and the children were removed by federal officials and sent to Texas, any judicial relief had to come from a judge with jurisdiction. US District Court Judge Orlando Garcia, in San Antonio, issued a 14-day extension of the previously issued order prohibiting the family's deportation. Following Garcia's decision, El Gamal, through an attorney, released her first public statement regarding the case. 5 Colorado terror suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman's wife Hayem El Gamal has released her first public statement as his family attempts to avoid deportation. via REUTERS 5 Soliman allegedly injured over a dozen people when he threw Molotov cocktails at a crowd of pro-Israel demonstrators in Boulder on June 1, 2025. Lisa Turnquist via AP 'My five children and I are in total shock over what they sa[w] my husband d[o] in Boulder, Colorado earlier this month,' El Gamal wrote. 'So many lives were ruined on that day. There is never an excuse for hurting innocent people. We have been cooperating with the authorities, who are trying their best to get to the bottom of this. We send our love to the many families who are suffering as a result of the attack.' She explained the aftermath of the attack from her perspective, detailing a late-night flight and stay at an immigration jail in Texas. 'This includes my two four-year-old children, my seven-year-old, my fifteen-year-old, and my oldest daughter, who just turned eighteen in jail,' she wrote. 'We are grieving, and we are suffering. We are treated like animals by the officers, who told us we are being punished for what my husband is accused of doing. But why punish me? Why punish my four-year-old children? Why punish any of us, who did nothing wrong?' 5 Soliman seen in court on June 2, 2025. Reuters Since coming to America three years ago, El Gamal claimed the family 'tried to do everything right,' obtaining work permits, learning English and teaching the US's official language to other immigrants. 'We have always tried to be good neighbors, cooking food for those around us regardless of whether they are Muslim, Christian or Jewish,' she wrote. 'I do not judge anyone based on his religion. If your heart is good, that's enough.' The reference to neighbors practicing other religions comes weeks after Fox News Digital interviewed an observant Jewish family who recently moved into the same neighborhood as the suspect's family. 5 The Soliman family's home in Colorado Springs. Jerilee Bennett/The Gazette via AP In the days following the attack, David and Rivkah Costello described the horror of finding out that their neighbor had been charged in connection to the alleged hate crime. As the couple unpacked boxes, they said El Gamal showed up at their door, adorned with a mezuzah, offering cupcakes to welcome them to the neighborhood. 'All I want is to give my children good lives,' El Gamal continued in statement. 'My oldest daughter volunteered at a hospital; she has a 4.5 GPA and wants to become a doctor, to help people in this country. My kids want to go to school, they want to see their friends and deal with their grief from recent weeks. But here they can't sleep. They cry throughout the day, asking me, 'When will we get to go home?'' 5 Soliman's daughter Habiba Soliman. Instagram/Thomas MacLaren School She claimed when they were first detained, her children were 'forced' to watch officials 'rough-up' another detainee, adding they lacked privacy and decent meals. 'Only mothers can truly understand what we are going through,' El Gamal wrote. 'I did everything for my kids. It has been two weeks in jail, how much longer will we be here for something we didn't do? How much longer until the damage to my children is irreversible? It has been so hard for me to stay strong for my kids. I'm so tired. I ask the American people, with all my heart, to please listen to our story and help us.'

British superyacht that sank off Sicily, killing 7, to be raised this weekend
MILAN -- The British superyacht that sank off Sicily last August killing seven is scheduled to be lifted from the seabed this weekend, after the removal of its 72-meter (236-foot) mast, the salvage company heading the operation said Wednesday. The cutting down of the Bayesian's mast allowed the hull to be brought to a nearly upright position, accelerating the recovery schedule by about a week. The British-flagged superyacht sank in August, killing U.K. tech magnate Mike Lynch, his daughter and five others. The vessel is to be lifted from a depth of 50 meters (164 feet) by a powerful maritime floating crane barge on Saturday, weather permitting, and is expected to be brought to port on Monday, TMC Marine said in a statement. The mast, meanwhile, was left on the seabed for future removal. Lifting the 56-meter (184-foot) Bayesian requires the installation of eight main steel lifting straps, along with four previously installed, the company said. During the recent operations, salvage crews removed a life raft and deck furniture, which were brought to the port. TMC has previously recovered suspected debris from the seabed using a remote-controlled submersible. Marine salvage experts began the operation in early May to recover the superyacht, but the operation was temporarily halted after a diver's death a few days later. A new recovery plan was approved last week. British investigators in an interim report issued last month said that the yacht was knocked over by 'extreme wind' and couldn't recover. The report stated that the Bayesian had chosen the site where it sank as shelter from forecast thunderstorms. Wind speeds exceeded 70 knots (81 mph.) at the time of the sinking at 4:06 a.m. on Aug. 19 and 'violently' knocked the vessel over to a 90-degree angle in under 15 seconds. Italian authorities are conducting a full criminal investigation. Billionaire entrepreneur Lynch, 59, and his daughter Hannah, 18, were among the dead when the Bayesian sank. Fifteen people survived. The boat trip was a celebration of Lynch's acquittal in a fraud case in the U.S. in June. Fifteen people survived the accident.
