A 45-year-old man, yelling "Free Palestine," threw a firebomb at people, injuring at least six, during a weekly gathering of Jewish community members in US's Colorado. Law enforcement authorities arrested the suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, for the alleged anti-Semitic attack, which the FBI has described as an act of "targeted terror".
The attack occurred during a demonstration in Boulder held to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza, and the suspect was confronted by the crowd and handed over to the police.
Soliman used a makeshift flamethrower in the attack and he was also injured and was taken to the hospital to be treated. No charges were immediately announced but officials said they expect to hold him “fully accountable”.
FBI Director Kash Patel described the incident as a "targeted terror attack," and Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said it appeared to be "a hate crime given the group that was targeted".
