Authorities in Boulder, Colorado, have charged Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, with a federal hate crime following a firebomb attack at a pro-Israel rally. The attack, which injured 12 people, was reportedly planned by Soliman for over a year. Sources reveal that he targeted a group involved in advocating for Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. Soliman disguised himself as a gardener to get close to the protesters, including elderly participants.
Officials say Soliman intended to use a firearm but could not legally purchase one due to his citizenship status. The FBI classified the incident as terrorism, amidst criticism from some analysts. Boulder authorities disclosed that the suspect showed signs of increasing radicalization and described the attack as antisemitic.
In a related development, the family of the Boulder firebombing suspect has been taken into federal custody. His wife and five children are currently being processed for expedited removal.
Colorado Governor Jared Polis emphasized that residents should feel safe exercising free speech without fear of such violence. The incident has prompted heightened security around synagogues and Jewish community centers in the D.C. area and nationwide.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities gather more details about the suspect’s motives and connections. Stay tuned to Questiqa World News for more latest updates.
