The FBI is treating the incident in Colorado as a terrorist attack
An unidentified man was detained in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday after throwing Molotov cocktails at attendees of a demonstration in support of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
Videos from the scene show a shirtless man carrying what appear to be bottles of flammable liquid while shouting pro-Palestinian slogans. He is later seen lying on the ground as police move in to detain him.
"We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado. Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available," FBI Director Kash Patel said on X.
Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said officers responded to a report of a suspect "setting people on fire." He confirmed that several people had been hospitalized, with injuries ranging "from very serious to more minor."
Heated demonstrations in support of both Palestine and Israel have taken place in many countries since the war between Hamas and Israel broke out in October 2023. The US has seen a wave of antisemitic incidents, with pro-Palestinian activists targeting Jewish institutions and individuals demonstrating in support of Israel.
Last month, a man shouting pro-Palestinian slogans fatally shot two Israeli embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum in downtown Washington.
