Who is Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the Colorado fire bomb attack suspect?

“He was granted a tourist visa by the Biden Administration, and then he illegally overstayed that visa,” Miller wrote in a post on his official X handle.

“In response, the Biden Administration gave him a work permit,” he added.

The FBI is investigating the incident as an “act of terror”.

FBI Special Agent Mark Michalek said that six elderly people suffered serious burn injuries after Soliman allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at the ones taking part in the rally for Israeli hostages held captive by Hamas in Gaza.

The victims, who are aged between 67 to 88, are being treated in hospitals, with one being in critical condition.

“It is clear that this is a targeted act of violence and the FBI is investigating this as an act of terrorism,” Michalek said.

Who is Mohamed Sabry Soliman?

Forty-five-year-old Soliman is an Egyptian national who first arrived at the Los Angeles International Airport on August 27, 2022, on a non-immigrant visa.

Under this visa, he was authorised to stay in the United States till February 26, 2023, but he “overstayed” and never left, according to Fox News.

He reportedly also filed for asylum in 2023 and was given a work permit by the Biden administration, which expired on March 28, 2025.

Soliman allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower during the attack at the Pearl Street Mall and yelled “Free Palestine”.

The FBI said that the suspect was also injured in the attack and taken to the hospital with “minor injuries”.

The attack comes barely a week after a man fatally shot two Israeli embassy staffers outside a Jewish museum in Washington after he yelled “Free Palestine”.
