SUMMARY: A man armed with a flamethrower carried out a terrorist attack at a pedestrian mall in Boulder, Colorado, injuring eight people with severe burns. The attack targeted a gathering calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza. Witnesses reported the suspect, 45-year-old Muhammad Sabri Solomon from El Paso, Texas, shouting “Free Palestine” while throwing incendiary devices. The FBI is investigating the incident as terrorism. Solomon, an illegal immigrant who overstayed a tourist visa and was later granted a work permit, was arrested. This attack follows a similar deadly shooting at a Jewish museum in Washington, prompting increased security at Jewish sites nationwide.

A man armed with a flamethrower carried out what the FBI is calling a targeted terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado. Eight people were injured, including some with severe burns. It happened at an event calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Right out of the gate, the FBI called this a terror attack, and according to witnesses, the perpetrator made his motive clear.
Streets in Boulder blocked off as first responders swarmed a pedestrian mall where moments earlier, a group had been calling for the Israeli hostages in Gaza to be freed.
Osante says: “It was chaos and ruckus. People were yelling and screaming.”
Witnesses described an almost unbelievable scene.
OSANTE SAYS: “there was guy throwing, he threw a Molokov cocktail at a group of protesters and one person caught on fire from head to toe and they were burning up, their whole body was burning up. And a few others. Were also on fire.
And witnesses say the man yelled “Free Palestine” as he carried out the attack.
MICHALEK SAYS: it is clear that this is a targeted act of violence in. The FBI is investigating this as an act of terrorism.
The victims range in age from 52-88.
The suspect, who was arrested, was identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman from El Paso, Texas.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller posted in X:
“A terror attack was committed in Boulder, Colorado by an illegal alien. He was granted a tourist visa by the Biden Administration and then he illegally overstayed that visa. In response, the Biden Administration gave him a work permit.”
The attack came less than two weeks after two Israeli embassy workers were shot and killed outside of the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington.
That suspect was also said to yell “Free Palestine.”
Since that attack, police in a number of cities, including here in the Nation’s capitol, have stepped up security around synagogues and other Jewish sites.
