2025 Boulder fire attack

On June 1, 2025, in Boulder, Colorado, United States, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian man living in Colorado, allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to attack a group of people taking part in a walk to raise awareness for the hostages taken from Israel by Hamas during the October 7 attacks.

The attack left thirteen people injured, including the suspect. Soliman yelled "Free Palestine" and said antisemitism was the reason for his attack.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) treated the attack as a targeted terror attack, and he was charged with a federal hate crime and other related state charges.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced in a post on Truth Social after the attack that Soliman would be deported under his Administration. Attorney General Pam Bondi said that the U.S. Department of Justice would hold the alleged attacker "accountable to the fullest extent of the law."
