The wife and children of Boulder, Colorado, suspicious of terrorism, Mohamed Soliman, are in the custody of the application of immigration and customs of the United States and the family is being prosecuted for accelerated elimination, according to an official of the National Security Department.
The Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote on social networks on Monday: “In the light of yesterday’s horrible attack, all terrorists, family members and terrorist supporters here in a visa should know that under the Trump administration we will find it, we will revoke his visa and we will deport it.”
Soliman-who was arrested after allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails in an “act of terrorism” during a Pro-Israel demonstration on Sunday, he has been in the United States with an expired tourist visa, authorities said.
The five -year -old father was awarded a work permit, but which had also expired in March.

Soliman was born in Egypt and lived in Kuwait for 17 years before moving to Colorado Springs three years ago, according to judicial documents.
They supposedly said that he had been planning the attack for a year, but waited until his daughter graduated from high school last Thursday to carry it out, state and federal documents said.
Omer Shache, co-leader of Run for his lives in Boulder, told ABC News that he was standing in front of the group outside the Boulder’s Palace of Justice on Sunday afternoon when a man threw a Molotov cocktail under his legs.
Shache felt “panic immediately” when his friends caught fire in front of his eyes.
“They are literally in flames,” he said. “I don’t know if I can express it enough, literally in flames and trying to get my friend out of the fire.”

“Once someone could help her, she was getting to the [attacker] And I try, I don’t know what I thought, but maybe to address it … but we saw that he approaches a container full of bottles and realized that it is not a good idea, so we took a step back, “Shache said.” We are trying to keep people far possible, although some of them could not walk. One of them was on the floor where the fire is. “
Shache said passers -by intervened with bottles of water to try to help off the fire.
Twelve people were injured, authorities said. Two victims remain in the hospital.

The authorities are reviewing a recently released video that shows chaos and panic in the sequelae of the attack.
Soliman, who supposedly disguised himself as a gardener during the attack, told the police that “he wanted to kill all the Zionists and wished everyone was dead,” judicial documents said. “Soliman declared that he would (perform an attack) again.”
“He said that this had nothing to do with the Jewish community and was specific in the Zionist group that supported the murders of people in their land (Palestine),” documents said.

Shache said that running for their lives has a peaceful walk every Sunday to raise awareness about the hostages that remain in Gaza for Hamas since October 7, 2023.
Participants include those who are “Jews and non -Jews, right and left, Israelis and not Israelis, American and non -American,” he said. “And people come for the same cause: bring those hostages back home.”
Shache said he hopes that the group can return to their walks soon.
“At this time, run through the lives, the international group, asked to stop walking until we understand better security arrangements and security arrangements,” he said. “However, personally, I will say that while we can do it, and while we are working with the police and we can do it, I will walk until the last host returns home.”
Soliman had taken a hidden transport class to learn to shoot a weapon, but “he had to use Molotov cocktails [for the attack] After the purchase of a gun was denied because it was not a legal citizen, “said documents from the State Court.
Sixteen Molotov cocktails unused were available to the “scope” of the suspect when he was arrested, the special FBI Denver agent by Mark Michalek said on Monday.
The molotov cocktails off were “composed of bottles of wine jug or ball bottles containing transparent liquids and red rags that hang from the bottles,” judicial documents said. The police also found a “back of backpack weeds, potentially containing an flammable substance. The transparent liquid in glass bottles and weed sprayer was determined that it was 87 octane gasoline, which was determined that contained xilen.”
Soliman has been accused of a crime of federal hatred and state charges that include 16 positions of first degree murder attempt, according to judicial documents. It appeared in court virtually on Monday. You still have to enter a plea.
