**Flamethrower Attack in Boulder: Eight Injured, Suspect in Custody** A horrific attack unfolded in Boulder, Colorado on Sunday, June 1st, 2025, leaving eight people injured. The incident occurred during a weekly march raising awareness for Israeli hostages in Gaza. Police have apprehended a suspect, identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Soliman, an Egyptian national who overstayed his non-immigrant visa. Soliman allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower and flammable liquids to attack the group. "It was chaos," described one eyewitness, "people were writhing on the ground. It was traumatic to watch." The eyewitness account highlights the chaotic and distressing nature of the event. The FBI is investigating the attack as a possible act of terrorism, and Soliman is facing several felony charges, including the use of an explosive and incendiary device and crimes against the elderly. Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty stated, "We are fully united 100% in making sure the charges we bring hold the attacker fully accountable." The incident underscores the importance of vigilance and community support in the face of such violence. The investigation continues to determine if Soliman acted alone or was influenced by extremist ideology.
