The FBI says a man with a makeshift flamethrower yelled “Free Palestine” and hurled an incendiary device into a crowd that had assembled to raise attention for Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Eight people were injured in the attack Sunday in Boulder, Colorado, that the FBI says it’s investigating as an act of terrorism. The suspect was identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman and officials believe he acted alone. The burst of violence at the popular Pearl Street pedestrian mall unfolded against the backdrop of a war between Israel and Hamas that has contributed to a spike in antisemitic violence in the United States.
