Family Detained After Colorado Hostage Demo Attack

Federal immigration authorities have detained the wife and five children of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national accused of attacking a pro-Israeli demonstration in Boulder, Colorado with Molotov cocktails, injuring at least twelve people. Soliman, who overstayed a tourist visa and had filed for asylum, faces state and federal hate crime charges after targeting a group he described as a 'Zionist group.' Authorities say Soliman planned the attack for over a year, disguised himself as a gardener, and shouted 'Free Palestine' during the incident. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that investigators are probing whether Soliman's family knew about or supported the attack. The family, who had been living in Colorado Springs, is currently in ICE custody and being processed for expedited removal. Soliman's wife has reportedly told authorities she was unaware of his plans and has cooperated with investigators.
