Illegal Immigrant Yelling ‘Free Palestine’ Lights Jewish People on Fire at Pro-Israel Demonstration
An Egyptian illegal immigrant used a flamethrower and molotov cocktails to set a group of Jewish people on fire Sunday at a demonstration in Boulder, Colo., held to express solidarity with the hostages remaining in Hamas captivity.
The FBI identified the suspect as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, and said he was heard yelling “Free Palestine” during the attack. Soliman’s rampage left eight people wounded, two of whom have serious injuries. The victims ranged in age from 52 to 88 and reportedly included a Holocaust survivor. One woman was badly burned during the attack and had to roll around to extinguish the flames, local outlet KUSA reported.
Soliman was in the U.S. illegally. He entered on a tourist visa and then overstayed it, before getting a work permit during the Biden administration, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said.
