Pro-Israel gathering in Boulder, Colorado, targeted with explosives and fire weapons, leaving eight people hurt | U.S. News

Eight people were injured at a pro-Israel event in Boulder, Colorado after being attacked by a man with a makeshift flamethrower and petrol bombs. A group of people in Boulder were holding a walk to remember Israeli hostages in Gaza when they were targeted by a man who shouted “Free Palestine”. He was arrested at the scene. Four women and four men aged between 52 and 88 were injured and transported to hospitals. Some of them were airlifted to hospital. Authorities had earlier put the count of the injured at six and said at least one of them was in a critical condition. The FBI says the attack was a targeted “act of terrorism” and named the suspect as 45-year-old Mohamed Soliman. He was also taken to hospital after the alleged attack. Two senior law enforcement officials told Sky News’ US partner network that Soliman is an Egyptian national who seemingly acted alone. They said he has no previous significant contact with law enforcement. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said it appeared to be “a hate crime given the group that was targeted”.
