### Arrest of Boulder Suspect's Family Raises Concerns Over Support for Attack
#### Immigration officials detain wife and children of Mohamed Sabry Soliman after violent incident at peace march.
Mr. Soliman allegedly told police that he wanted to kill all Zionists and targeted the group. Immigration authorities have taken his wife and children into custody following an attack in Boulder, Colorado, which left multiple individuals injured. US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the news in a statement shared on social media.
The suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, faces charges including attempted murder and possession of incendiary devices after injuring a dozen marchers calling for the release of Israeli hostages. The incident occurred as Mr. Soliman reportedly shouted "Free Palestine" while throwing petrol bombs into the crowd. In addition to local charges, he has also been charged with federal hate crimes.
Noem emphasized that authorities are investigating whether Soliman's family was aware of his plans. The Homeland Security Department posted a video regarding the detention of his wife and five children but did not disclose whether they would face deportation or other legal actions. It has been noted that Mr. Soliman’s daughter recently graduated high school and had previously received a scholarship celebrating her achievements.
Evidence indicates that Mr. Soliman arrived in the US on a tourist visa in August 2022, which lapsed the following year when he applied for asylum. Police documents reveal that he expressed no communication about his plans with his family, despite leaving behind a note intended for them.
One of his daughters had expressed aspirations to study medicine and noted the positive impact of her life in the US on her development. Local reports indicate that the decision to carry out the attack was premeditated, as he had been planning it for a year, according to the FBI.
In a brief court appearance, Mr. Soliman responded to procedural inquiries without further comment. His next court date is set for Thursday when formal charges will be filed, and a bail hearing will be conducted. Authorities continue to unravel details surrounding this troubling incident while caring for the wounded, including vulnerable individuals like Holocaust survivors.
