FBI Raids Home of Boulder Bombing Suspect
A recent video reveals the FBI conducting an early morning raid on the residence of a man connected to a bombing incident targeting Pro-Israeli demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado.
The suspect, 45-year-old Mohamed Soliman, is an Egyptian national living in the U.S. unlawfully after overstaying his work visa. It’s alleged that he used a homemade incendiary device, incorporating a makeshift flamethrower, during the attack.
In discussing the investigation, Scott Duffy, a retired FBI agent, emphasized the possibility of other individuals being involved, saying, “Any investigation—especially terrorist-related—might uncover co-conspirators.”
The raid occurred on June 2, 2025, at Soliman’s home in Colorado Springs. Protesters were rallying for the release of Israeli hostages from captivity in Gaza when Soliman’s bomb exploded. Eight individuals, ranging in age from 52 to 88, suffered injuries, with one person reported to be in critical condition. Eyewitnesses noted that Soliman shouted “Free Palestine” during the incident.
As investigators continue digging into Soliman’s background, Duffy raised questions about the suspect’s demeanor and interactions with neighbors. There’s curiosity about whether he had any conspicuous visitors or unusual behavior, suggesting that the investigation is broader than just the bombing itself.
According to the arrest affidavit, Soliman had been living in Colorado Springs with his wife and five children. He reportedly left behind an iPhone containing a message for his family and also kept a journal, both of which could provide further insight into his motivations.
Charges against Soliman include first-degree murder with deliberation, assault against vulnerable adults, and使用 of explosives during a felony. He has been held at the Boulder County Jail with a bond set at $10 million.
Duffy noted an increasing trend in violence, urging communities to remain vigilant. Soliman first arrived in the U.S. on a non-immigrant visa in August 2022, granted to stay until February 2, 2023. However, he never left and later filed a status claim with immigration services.
Interestingly, he received a work permit in March 2023, although it has since expired. The timeline of his residency raises further questions about his legal standing in the United States.
