**Fiery Attack on Pro-Israel Demonstrators in Colorado Deemed ‘Targeted Terror Attack’**

**Boulder, Colorado | June 3, 2025:** A man armed with a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails attacked demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday, June 1st, injuring twelve people. The FBI is investigating the incident as a “targeted terror attack” and a hate crime.

The suspect has been identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45. According to authorities, Soliman yelled “Free Palestine” during the attack, which targeted a group called “Run for Their Lives,” an organization that advocates for the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. The hostages were captured during an incursion into southern Israel in 2023.

The attack took place at the Pearl Street pedestrian mall. Witnesses reported that Soliman used a flamethrower and then threw Molotov cocktails into the crowd. He was arrested at the scene. Video footage captured Soliman shouting while holding bottles filled with liquid.

Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty stated that authorities found 16 unused Molotov cocktails at the scene. Witnesses also reported that Soliman may have caught himself on fire during the attack.

An FBI affidavit revealed that Soliman confessed to the attack, stating he “wanted to kill all Zionist people” and that he had planned the attack for over a year.

The injured victims range in age from 52 to 88. Their injuries are consistent with reports of being burned.

Soliman, who was born in Egypt and previously lived in Kuwait for 17 years, had been living in Colorado Springs with his wife and five children since moving to Colorado three years prior to the incident. The Department of Homeland Security reported that Soliman filed for asylum in September 2022 and had been living in the U.S. illegally since his visa expired in February 2023. He had worked as an Uber driver.

Soliman appeared in court on Monday and is charged with state and federal crimes, including a hate crime which carries a sentence of life in prison. A judge set a $10 million cash-only bond.

The attack comes amid heightened tensions related to the Israel-Hamas conflict and a rise in antisemitic violence in the United States.
