Watch: Causes Slops at Pro-Israel event, as a man in Colorado hung ‘Molotov Cocktail’ in a crowd, ‘Free Palestine’ shouts
A peaceful meeting at the downtown boulder in Colorado turned into anarchy on Sunday when a person shouted “Free Palestine” and thrown a fire to a fire in the group enhancing awareness for Israeli hostages in Gaza. Law enforcement officials said the suspect injured six people, some serious burns, some people injured.The attacker, identified as 45 -year -old Mohammad Sabari Soliman, is expected to face allegations. The FBI is investigating the incident as a “Terrorist Act”.The attack occurred at the Pearl Street Mall, a popular four-block pedestrian area in the boulder, and comes amidst increasing global tension on the Israeli-Hamas war. A week ago, a person allegedly shot two Israeli Embassy employees in Washington, allegedly shouting the same slogan.Mark Micchak, the special agent of the FBI’s Denver Field Office, said, “Sadly such attacks are becoming very common across the country.” “This is an example of how criminals of violence have threatened communities across the country,” he said.According to officials, the victims are from 67 to 88 years of age and suffered injuries from minor to serious. The group wrapped a weekly performance organized by ‘Run for Hiz Lives’, for the release of Israeli hostages organized by Hamas.A witness captured the part of the chaos on the video, shouting: “He is there. He is throwing Molotov cocktail,” because the police contacted a shirtless man in both hands holding the containers.
72 -year -old Lynn Segal, who was among about 20 contestants, saw the “fire rope” shoot in front of him, followed by “two big flares”.“There were people who were burning, I wanted to help,” said Segal. “But I didn’t want to be associated with the culprit.”She shared that when she supports Palestine and was wearing a Palestine shirt, she feared that she might be wrong as being associated with the attacker.Officials confirmed that Soliman worked alone and was not looking for any other suspects. He was also injured in the incident and rushed to a hospital, although the details of his situation have not been released. While no formal allegations have been made so far, the authorities assured the public that Soliman would be held accountable.FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said: “This Act of Terror is being investigated as an act of ideologically motivated violence based on preliminary information, evidence and witness accounts. We will clearly speak on these incidents when the facts warrant the facts.”The Department of Justice condemned the attack as a “unnecessary work of violence”, referring to a recent wave of target attacks of Jewish Americans.This latest violence is part of rising disturbance since October 7, 2023, when Hamas militants killed around 1200 people in southern Israel and took around 250 hostages. Today, 58 hostages remain in Gaza, almost a third is believed to be alive.According to the Gaza Health Ministry, Israel’s military reaction in Gaza killed over 54,000 people, and displaced about 90% of the population, which is the most dependent on international aid.Sunday’s incident brought back memories of a large -scale shooting in Boulder four years ago, when a gunman killed four people at a local grocery store. He was later sentenced to life in jail.After the attack, the police evacuated several bocks of Pearl Street. Armed officials and K9 units swept the region, urging the public to stay away as they discovered additional threats.
