Eight Wounded in ‘Flamethrower’ Attack at Colorado Pro-Israel Hostage Rally
A man shouting “Free Palestine” used a makeshift flamethrower to set fire to pro-Israel protesters during a Sunday event in Boulder, Colorado, injuring eight people aged 52 to 88.
The FBI is investigating the incident as a “targeted terror attack” and has identified the suspect as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who was injured and taken into custody.
The Anti-Defamation League condemned the attack as violent antisemitism; one victim remains in critical condition with severe burns.
Video footage shows the shirtless attacker spraying flames and screaming slogans.
This attack comes two weeks after two Israeli embassy staffers were shot dead in Washington.
A White House aide noted the suspect had overstayed his visa.
