FBI raids home of illegal immigrant suspect accused of firebombing pro-Israel rally in Boulder

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A newly released video captures the FBI’s raid early Monday morning at the residence of the individual accused of attacking pro-Israel demonstrators with firebombs near Boulder, Colorado.

Mohamed Soliman, 45, an Egyptian national who resides illegally in the United States after exceeding the duration of a work visa, is alleged to have employed homemade incendiary devices, including a rudimentary flamethrower, in the assault. 

“Similar to any investigation, especially one involving terrorism, it’s essential to determine if other individuals were involved, if there are co-conspirators, or to confirm that it was a lone wolf who acted independently, without specific orders or direction,” explained Scott Duffey, a retired FBI supervisory special agent, in a conversation with Fox News Digital.

The FBI raided Mohamed Soliman’s Colorado Springs home early Monday morning, June 2, 2025.

He was booked into the Boulder County Jail on Sunday night and is being held on a $10 million bond. 

“I think everybody just needs to be on guard because we are seeing an escalation of violence,” Duffey said. 

Soliman initially came to the United States on Aug. 27, 2022 on a non-immigrant visa. He was authorized to stay in the country until Feb. 2, 2023, but never left. On Sept. 9, 2022, he filed a claim with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

He was granted a work permit on March 29, 2023, which was valid through March of this year. 

He remained in the country after that permit expired.
