BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Six people were injured Sunday in what the FBI immediately described as a “targeted terror attack” at an outdoor mall in Boulder, Colorado, where a group had gathered to raise attention to Israeli hostages held in Gaza.

The suspect, identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, yelled “Free Palestine” and used a makeshift flamethrower in the attack, said Mark Michalek, the special agent in charge of the Denver field office. Soliman was taken into custody. No charges were immediately announced but officials said they expect to hold him “fully accountable.”

Soliman was also injured and was taken to the hospital to be treated, but authorities didn’t elaborate on the nature of his injuries.

Video from the scene showed a witness shouting, “He’s right there. He’s throwing Molotov cocktails,” as a police officer with his gun drawn advanced on a bare-chested suspect with containers in each hand.

"Free Palestine" is rapidly becoming synonymous with "Kill the Jews". Not antisemitic, though.

But when I hear it, my politically incorrect Jewish gut tells me to run for my life anyway.

to UC Health burn unit in Denver. I don't think any hospital in Boulder is rated a *Level One Trauma Center,*..... let alone have a burn unit..........
