() Police have identified the suspect in a Boulder, Colorado, attack at an event advocating for the release of Israeli hostages as Mohamed Soliman.

At least eight people were injured in the attack after it appears someone threw an incendiary device into the crowd. No fatalities have been confirmed.

What happened during the Boulder attack?

There are reports that the suspect yelled “Free Palestine” as he threw the device into the crowd.

The suspect then went behind some bushes and reemerged with a Molotov cocktail but caught his own shirt on fire, the Associated Press reported. He removed what appeared to be a bulletproof vest and the shirt and was arrested by police.

Who is Mohamed Soliman?

Soliman, 45, is believed to have acted alone and does not appear to have any connection to organized terror groups or prior contact with law enforcement. He is originally from Egypt.

Not much else is known about Soliman at this time.

Was Mohamed Soliman in the country illegally?

Soliman initially entered the country legally on a tourist visa. He applied for asylum in September 2022, with his case likely still pending due to a backlog in immigration courts.

His tourist visa expired in February 2023. He was granted a work permit that was valid through March of this year and did not leave the country after it expired.

What is Mohamed Soliman being charged with?

Soliman is being charged with eight felony counts, including first-degree murder. It isn’t clear what the murder charge is in relation to since authorities have not announced any fatalities so far.
