Following the violent firebombing at a pro-Israel rally in Boulder, Colorado, a retired FBI agent has indicated that investigators are examining the Egyptian suspect’s “possible radicalization.” This information comes from an expert source.

“The authorities are actively conducting a forensic examination of the site, gathering remnants of the device, fingerprints, and potential surveillance footage,” stated Jason Pack, a retired FBI special agent, in a conversation with Fox News Digital. “Comprehensive background checks are in progress—domestically and internationally, likely in collaboration with Egyptian authorities through the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, to explore the suspect’s history, connections, and potential radicalization.”

Authorities identified the suspect as 45-year-old Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who had overstayed his visa. 

“The suspect arrived armed with Molotov cocktails and a homemade flamethrower. During the attack, he shouted ‘Free Palestine’ and other slogans. This was not a random act; it was personal and probably driven by political or ideological motives,” he explained.

On the scene, forensics will remain a top priority for federal investigators, Pack said. 

“The forensic work at the scene is just as important. They’re collecting every piece of evidence, from bottle shards to accelerant residue. That’ll help piece together exactly what he used, how he built it, and where he might have tested it,” said Pack.

“This kind of violence shakes communities—and it’s not something law enforcement takes lightly. One man with homemade firebombs injured nearly a dozen people. That’s why police around the country will be taking a second look at security plans for similar events, especially ones tied to Israel, Gaza, or other politically charged issues.”

Despite the gravity of the attack, Pack believes there’s no indication of a broader conspiracy

“From what I’ve seen, there’s no broader plot here. But that doesn’t mean it ends in Boulder. Investigators are thinking long term—looking for signs this kind of thing could happen again somewhere else.”

“These kinds of lone-wolf attacks are tough to predict, but they’re not impossible to stop,” he said. “The key is sharing intel, watching for behavioral warning signs, and not ignoring threats when they surface.”

“For now, law enforcement is doing what it does best: following the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and staying focused on keeping the public safe.”
