8 hurt in attack targeting Boulder event supporting Israeli hostages
June 1 (UPI) -- Authorities in Colorado said a man armed with a makeshift flamethrower attacked a group of people demonstrating in support of Israeli hostages near Boulder's county courthouse on Sunday, injuring eight. The suspect, identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman of Colorado Springs, was taken into police custody at the scene. He has been booked into the Boulder County jail on a slew of charges, including first-degree murder, according to jail records. Bond has been set at $10 million. Mark Michalek, the FBI special agent in charge, told reporters during a press conference that the suspect is alleged to have attacked the group of demonstrators with the homemade flamethrower and incendiary devices, later said to have been Molotov cocktails. He said witnesses reported hearing the suspect yell "Free Palestine" during the attack. "It is clear that this is a targeted act of violence and the FBI is investigating this as an act of terrorism," he said. Police originally stated six people were injured but in a late Sunday statement said it had identified eight victims, four men and four women between the ages of 52 and 88. The conditions of the victims ranged from minor to serious, though Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn said he could not confirm specific injuries. Authorities earlier said four victims had been transported to local hospitals and two were airlifted to the Denver area where they were receiving treatment by the Aurora hospital burn unit. Redfearn said at least one victim was "very seriously injured, probably safe to say critical condition." The attack near Pearl St. Mall in downtown Boulder occurred just before 1:30 p.m. MDT, authorities said. Police arrived at the scene to find victims suffering from burns. The suspect was taken into custody without incident but was transported to the hospital for minor injuries. "We need to hold the attacker fully accountable. That is my promise -- to hold to the attacker fully accountable," Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty vowed during the press conference. FBI Director Kash Patel described it as "a targeted terror attack," and his deputy director, Dan Bongino, said it was being investigated as "an act of ideologically motivated violence." The pro-Israel advocacy group the Anti-Defamation League identified the demonstrators attacked in a statement as participants of the weekly Run for Their Lives event, which sees Jewish community members run and walk in solidarity with Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity. "Today, America bore witness to yet another heinous act of anti-Semitism designed to terrorize a peaceful community," Colorado Gov. Josh Shapiro said in a statement. "This type of hate-filled violence has no place in our civilized society and must be universally condemned." The attack is the latest to occur in the United States targeting Jewish people amid Israel's war in Gaza. On May 21, Elias Rodriguez, 31, was accused of yelling "Free Palestine" as he was being arrested after allegedly shooting two Israeli embassy employees outside Washington's Capital Jewish Museum, where an event was being hosted by the American Jewish Committee. Days later, a U.S. citizen from Boulder was charged with planning to firebomb the U.S. embassy in Israel with Molotov cocktails. The ADL on Sunday said, "We're witnessing a global campaign of intimidation and terror deliberately directed against the Jewish people." Decades of fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Hamas exploded into a full-fledged war in Gaza after the military group killed 1,200 Israelis and took 251 more hostage in a blood surprise attack on Oct. 7, 2023. Israel has responded by devastating Gaza with a brutal military offensive, killing more than 54,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza health ministry. Last month, Israel launched a new military offensive in the Palestinian enclave, increasing international criticism, including from allies, over the war. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser condemned the Sunday attack as a potential hate crime while stating violence is not the answer to political differences. "People may have differing views about world events and the Israeli-Hamas conflict, but violence is never the answer to settling differences. Hate has no place in Colorado," he said in a statement. "We all have the right to peaceably assemble and the freedom to speak our view. But these violent acts -- which are becoming more frequent, brazen and closer to home -- must stop, and those who commit these horrific acts must be fully held to account." An evacuation zone encompassing several blocks of downtown Boulder was established. The FBI late Sunday said in a statement that agents located in El Paso County, Colo., were conducting "a court-authorized law enforcement activity" related to the Pearl Street Mall attack. No other information was given. According to the ADL, there have been nine plots or attacks allegedly targeting Jews or Jewish institutions in the United States in the past 11 months, a sharp increase from seven between the 54 months between January 2020 to June of last year.

Boulder ‘terror attack': Why did Mohamed Soliman target protesters? Who are the victims?
A group of Jewish protesters calling for the release of Israeli hostages were attacked with Molotov cocktails on Sunday in Boulder, Colorado, with eight victims injured and hospitalised. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has termed the incident as a "targeted terror attack" and arrested a suspect in the case. Also Read: 'Terrorism against Jews': Israel's UN ambassador slams Boulder attack The suspect, Mohamed Soliman, targeted protesters who belonged to the volunteer group 'Run for Their Lives', which organises run and walk events to call for the immediate release of the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza. The group had gathered at the Pearl Street pedestrian mall, a four-block area in Boulder frequented by tourists and students. The eight people hospitalised for injuries ranged in age from 52 to 88, reported the Associated Press. Photos from the scene showed a woman lying on the ground, soaked in water, after several victims displayed burn injuries due to the attack. The injuries, consistent with burn wounds, ranged from minor to serious as per Boulder police chief Steve Redfearn. Also Read: 'They are jealous': Boulder attack suspect before throwing Molotov cocktails at pro-Israel group Lynn Segal, 72, one of 20 people gathered at the site of the protest, stated that they witnessed a 'rope of fire' and two big flares during the attack, after which the chaos erupted. Also Read: Boulder attack: Witness says Molotov cocktail thrown at pro-Israel protestors, raising terrorism concerns Segal, who is Jewish, has supported Palestine for more than 40 years, and was concerned that she might be accused of helping the suspect because she was wearing a pro-Palestine shirt. 'There were people who were burning, I wanted to help. But I didn't want to be associated with the perpetrator,' she told AP. Mark D. Michalek, the FBI special agent in charge, stated during a press conference, earlier today, that witnesses saw the suspect use a 'makeshift flamethrower' and yelled 'Free Palestine' during the attack. The people hospitalized for injuries in the Pearl Street attack range in age from 67 to 88. Photos from the scene showed a woman lying on the ground in the fetal position with her hair soaked, and a man helping her and getting water from someone with a water jug. The injuries authorities found were consistent with reports of people being set on fire, Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn said, adding that injuries ranged from serious to minor. Redfearn told reporters that it was too early to discuss a motive but that witnesses were being interviewed. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested at the scene. No charges were immediately announced, but officials said they expect to hold him 'fully accountable.' Video from the scene showed him shirtless and wearing jeans and holding two clear bottles with a transparent liquid in them while shouting at onlookers. Another video shows a witness shouting, 'He's right there. He's throwing Molotov cocktails,' as a police officer with his gun drawn advanced on the suspect. FBI leaders in Washington said they were treating the Boulder attack as an act of terrorism, and the Justice Department — which leads investigations into acts of violence driven by religious, racial or ethnic motivations — decried the attack as a 'needless act of violence, which follows recent attacks against Jewish Americans.' 'This act of terror is being investigated as an act of ideologically motivated violence based on the early information, the evidence, and witness accounts. We will speak clearly on these incidents when the facts warrant it,' FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said in a post on X.

Listen to article At least six people were injured after a man allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower in an attack on a pro-IIsrael rally in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday, Authorities said the incident is being investigated as a potential terror attack and confirmed that the suspect, identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, has been taken into custody. READ MORE: Two Israeli embassy staffers shot dead in Washington The incident occurred in the early afternoon on Pearl Street Mall, a popular shopping and pedestrian area, where members of the volunteer group Run For Their Lives had gathered. According to Mark Michalek, a special agent with the FBI, Soliman shouted 'Free Palestine' before igniting the device. Witnesses and local reports indicated that he may have used Molotov cocktails or a similar incendiary setup, resulting in a burst of flames engulfing multiple victims. Police confirmed the six victims were aged between 67 and 88 years old, all participants in the rally. Two of the wounded were airlifted to nearby hospitals with serious burn injuries, while the remaining were treated on site or at local facilities. Eyewitness Brooke Coffman, 19, a University of Colorado student, said she saw at least four women on the ground with burns. 'One woman looked burned all over and someone had wrapped her in a flag,' she said. 'Everybody was yelling, 'Get water, get water!' There was panic,' she added. The suspect was also injured and transported to hospital. Authorities have not yet detailed the extent of his injuries or whether he has legal representation. Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn urged the public to avoid speculation while interviews with witnesses continued. 'It would be irresponsible to assume motive while our investigation is still ongoing,' he said. 'This was a peaceful gathering, and the injuries are consistent with them having been set on fire.' 'This was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in downtown Boulder on Pearl Street, and this act was unacceptable,' Redfearn added. 'I ask that you join me in thinking about the victims, the families of those victims, and everyone involved in this tragedy.' Colorado Governor Jared Polis, a Democrat, said he was closely monitoring the investigation and condemned the incident. 'Hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable,' Polis said in a statement. The incident comes amid a period of heightened polarisation in the United States over the ongoing war on Gaza. The incident comes amid heightened tensions in the United States over Israel's war on Gaza, President Donald Trump, have sought to characterise pro-Palestinian demonstrations as antisemitic. READ: Israel approves 22 new settlements in West Bank His administration has been accused of detaining anti-war protesters without charge and withholding federal funding from elite universities that have allowed such protests on campus. Sunday's rally was one of a series of weekly events organised by Run For Their Lives, a volunteer group advocating for the release of Israeli captives. Al Jazeera's Alan Fisher, reporting from Washington, DC, said locals identified the suspect as carrying two glass bottles believed to contain petrol. 'He appeared shirtless, shouting in the crowd, and threw what people believe were petrol bombs,' Fisher said. The Jewish community in Boulder issued a joint statement condemning the assault. 'We are saddened and heartbroken to learn that an incendiary device was thrown at walkers at the Run for Their Lives walk on Pearl Street as they were raising awareness for the hostages still held in Gaza,' the statement said. 'We stand in solidarity with those injured and their families.' No formal charges have yet been announced, but federal officials have vowed to prosecute the suspect to the full extent of the law. The FBI, local police and counterterrorism units are continuing their investigation.

Israel has killed 4,149 Palestinians and injured 12,149 since breaking two-month-old ceasefire on March 18 this year. Israel's atrocities have displaced around 90% of Gaza's estimated 2 million residents, created a severe hunger crisis, and caused widespread destruction across the territory. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
