Several people suffered burns and other injuries June 1st in the US state of Colorado in what the FBI called a "targeted terror attack" against demonstrators seeking the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Police in the city of Boulder said a man was taken into custody. They were more cautious in presuming a possible motive for the attack, which multiple sources said was committed against members of the Jewish community during a peaceful gathering.

Overview

  • The revamp was announced on June 2 by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in response to a weekend assault on Jewish Americans and Israel supporters in Boulder.
  • Twelve people were injured when suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower at the Pearl Street Mall rally.
  • Soliman, a 45-year-old who overstayed a tourist visa and held a work permit that expired in March, now faces federal hate crime and Colorado attempted murder charges.
  • DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the expanded tip line will collect reports on gang members, sex offenders and other violent criminals in the country illegally.
  • The attack has intensified scrutiny of Biden-era asylum and work‐authorization policies, prompting calls for tougher enforcement measures
