New video shows the FBI’s early Monday morning raid on the home of the man suspected of firebombing pro-Israel demonstrators outside of Boulder, Colorado.

Mohamed Soliman, 45, an Egyptian national living in the United States illegally after overstaying a work visa, allegedly used homemade incendiary devices, including a makeshift flamethrower, in the attack. 

“Like any investigation, but especially a terror investigation, you’re looking to see if there are other actors, other co-conspirators, or [to] make sure that it is a lone wolf who acted out on his own with no particular orders, no particular direction,” retired FBI supervisory special agent Scott Duffey told Fox News Digital.

The FBI raided Mohamed Soliman’s Colorado Springs home early Monday morning, June 2, 2025.

He was booked into the Boulder County Jail on Sunday night and is being held on a $10 million bond. 

“I think everybody just needs to be on guard because we are seeing an escalation of violence,” Duffey said. 

Soliman initially came to the United States on Aug. 27, 2022 on a non-immigrant visa. He was authorized to stay in the country until Feb. 2, 2023, but never left. On Sept. 9, 2022, he filed a claim with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

He was granted a work permit on March 29, 2023, which was valid through March of this year. 

He remained in the country after that permit expired.
