Man attacks Colorado crowd with firebombs, 6 people injured
Six people were injured on Sunday, June 1, when a 45-year-old man yelled "Free Palestine" and threw incendiary devices into a crowd in Boulder, Colorado where a demonstration to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza was taking place, authorities said.
FBI special agent in charge of the Denver Field Office Mark Michalek said there were six victims, aged between 67 and 88 years old, who were transported to hospitals.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions in the United States over Israel's war in Gaza, which has spurred both an increase in antisemitic hate crime as well as moves by conservative supporters of Israel led by President Donald Trump to brand pro-Palestinian protests as antisemitic. His administration has detained protesters of the war without charge and cut off funding to elite US universities that have permitted such demonstrations.
