Man attacks Colorado crowd with firebombs, 8 injured
Eight people were injured on Sunday when a 45-year-old man yelled "Free Palestine" and threw incendiary devices into a crowd in Boulder, Colorado where a demonstration to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza was taking place, authorities said. Four women and four men between 52 and 88 years old were transported to hospitals, Boulder police said. Authorities had earlier put the count of the injured at six and said at least one of them was in a critical condition. "As a result of these preliminary facts, it is clear that this is a targeted act of violence and the FBI is investigating this as an act of terrorism," the FBI special agent in charge of the Denver Field Office, Mark Michalek, said. Michalek named the suspect as Mohamed Soliman, who was hospitalised shortly after the attack. Reuters could not immediately locate contact information for him or his family. Police tape cordons off the site of an attack that injured multiple people in Boulder. Photos: Reuters FBI Director Kash Patel also described the incident as a "targeted terror attack," and Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said it appeared to be "a hate crime given the group that was targeted." Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said he did not believe anyone else was involved. "We're fairly confident we have the lone suspect in custody," he said. The attack took place on the Pearl Street Mall, a popular pedestrian shopping district in the shadow of the University of Colorado, during an event organized by Run for Their Lives, an organisation devoted to drawing attention to the hostages seized in the aftermath of Palestinian's 2023 attack on Israel. Policemen gather near the scene. In a statement, the group said the walks have been held every week since then for the hostages, "without any violent incidents until today." Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said on X he was shocked by the "terrible antisemitic terror attack," describing it as "pure antisemitism." The incident comes amid heightened tensions in the United States over Israel's war in Gaza, which has spurred both an increase in antisemitic hate crime as well as moves by conservative supporters of Israel led by President Donald Trump to brand pro-Palestinian protests as antisemitic. His administration has detained protesters of the war without charge and cut off funding to elite US universities that have permitted such demonstrations. Reuters

The suspect in an attack on a pro-Israeli rally in Colorado that injured eight people was being held on Monday and is being charged with a hate crime, assault and the use of explosives, in lieu of a $10m bail, according to official records. The posted list of felony charges against Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, also includes charges of murder in the first degree, although police have said on social media that no victims were killed in the attack, which took place on Sunday in the city of Boulder. Authorities could not be reached immediately to clarify. Few details were available about the suspect, but Todd Lyons, acting director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Soliman had overstayed a visa and had an expired work permit. He is an Egyptian national. Witnesses reported the suspect used a makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd. He was heard to yell "Free Palestine," according to the FBI, during what the agency called a "targeted terror attack". Four women and four men between 52 and 88 years of age were transported to hospitals after the attack, Boulder Police said. - Reporting by Reuters

What we know about the Colorado flamethrower attack
Dozens of protesters in Boulder, Colorado, rallying in support of Israeli captives in Gaza, were attacked on Sunday by a man using a makeshift flamethrower and incendiary devices, according to witnesses. At least eight people were injured during the attack, with two left in serious condition. Videos from the scene of the attack on social media showed black smoke clouds billowing in front of the county courthouse. Bystanders are seen running towards the victims lying on the ground. At least one man picks up a piece of clothing to douse a fire on top of what appears to be a moving body. Middle East Eye could not independently verify the videos. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters The suspect can be seen shirtless, wearing sunglasses and holding bottles of clear liquid. Pacing back and forth, he argues with several people in the crowd as they wait for the police to arrive. Witnesses say they heard the man shouting "Free Palestine!' during the attack. The suspect The suspect was identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman. He entered the US from Egypt in August 2022 and stayed illegally after his visa expired in February 2023, according to Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security. Soliman filed for asylum in September 2022. 'The Colorado Terrorist attack suspect, Mohamed Soliman, is illegally in our country,' McLaughlin said on X. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, who has spearheaded US President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, posted on X that the suspect was a foreign national who "illegally overstayed (his) visa". Soliman can be heard in some videos screaming "End Zionists!" and "They are killers!" towards several people in red T-shirts as they tend to a person lying on the ground. Soliman was arrested at the scene and taken to a medical facility, where he was treated for minor injuries. He has been charged with a federal hate crime and murder in the first degree, plus other charges, according to court records. Links to Israel's war on Gaza? The FBI is investigating the attack as an 'act of terror.' Soliman, 45, was working in El Paso County. According to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, his bail has been set at $10m. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also described the Boulder incident as a "targeted terror attack", while attorney general Pam Bondi termed it "a horrific anti-Semitic attack". Soliman's attack marks the second in less than two weeks within the US where the suspects have invoked Israel's war on Gaza. Two Israeli embassy staffers were shot and killed in Washington, DC, in May by an alleged attacker who shouted 'Free Palestine'. The alleged attacker, 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez, had criticised the Israeli and US governments for the war on Gaza in a social media post on X, titled 'Escalate For Gaza, Bring The War Home.' Israel's war on Gaza started after the Hamas-led 7 October 2023 attacks on southern Israel. Since then, Israel's war on the enclave has killed more than 54,300 Palestinians. Israel has laid siege to the Gaza Strip, and the UN warns that 100 percent of its population is at risk of famine.
