**FBI Investigates Boulder Attack on Hostage Solidarity Group as ‘Act of Terror’; Suspect in Custody**
**Boulder, CO** – The FBI is investigating a Sunday attack in Boulder, Colorado, as an act of terror after eight people were injured when a man allegedly threw incendiary devices at a group campaigning for the release of captives held in Gaza.
Police have arrested Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, of El Paso County, in connection with the incident. Soliman, who was also injured, is in custody at the Boulder County Jail and will face multiple charges. While the exact charges have not been specified, Boulder Police confirmed his arrest in a news release.
The attack took place at approximately 1:36 PM MST at the Pearl Street Mall, during a weekly event known as “Run for Their Lives,” a global campaign organized to show solidarity with those held captive by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups since October 7th. Witnesses reported that the attacker used a makeshift flamethrower and threw what appeared to be Molotov cocktails at the group.
“This act of terror is being investigated as an act of ideologically motivated violence based on the early information, the evidence, and witness accounts,” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino wrote in an X post. The FBI has since confirmed the agency is investigating the incident as a terror attack.
Law enforcement officials said the injured, four women and four men, ranging in age from 52 to 88, were transported to hospitals in the Denver metropolitan area.
According to the Boulder Police news release, Soliman shouted “Free Palestine” during the attack. Stephen Miller, a former White House official, claimed on social media that Soliman was an “illegal alien” who overstayed a tourist visa, but Al Jazeera was unable to independently verify the information.
The incident has drawn widespread condemnation. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar labeled the attack an anti-Semitic act, and US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer described it as a “vile, antisemitic act of terror.” Numerous other Democratic lawmakers, including Senators Elizabeth Warren and House Representative Hakeem Jeffries, have also condemned the attack and expressed solidarity with the Jewish community.
Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn acknowledged community fears and urged unity, saying, “Boulder has recovered from acts of violence before and we will again recover. I urge this community to come together. Now is not the time to be divisive.”
The investigation is ongoing. Authorities have reopened most streets in downtown Boulder, except for a block on Pearl Street that is expected to reopen shortly.
