Mohamed Soliman, an Egyptian national living illegally in Colorado Springs after his visa and work authorization expired, is charged with a hate crime for a gasoline bomb attack at a pro-Israeli rally in Boulder.
Authorities say Soliman, 45, planned the attack for a year and told investigators he wanted to "
kill all Zionist people" but delayed it until after his daughter graduated high school. He used a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails, reportedly learning to make firebombs from YouTube.
The attack injured twelve people aged 52 to 88, with three still hospitalized. The FBI identified Soliman as the lone suspect.
Meanwhile, Soliman's family, including two teenagers and three younger children, has been detained by ICE for "
expedited removal" and could be deported as early as tonight, according to the White House.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the family's detention and said federal officials are investigating "
to what extent his family knew about this heinous attack, if they had knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it."
Court papers state Soliman told authorities no one, including his family, was aware of the plot, but the investigation continues.
This case highlights the intersection of immigration enforcement and domestic terrorism investigations, raising questions about family involvement and legal consequences.
"We are investigating to what extent his family knew about this heinous attack," Noem said on social media.
"Twelve people were injured," authorities reported, underscoring the attack's severity.
Soliman's illegal status in the U.S. complicates the case, as his family faces imminent deportation amid ongoing investigations.
