The individual from Egypt who is believed to have harmed 12 individuals by setting off an incendiary device during a demonstration supporting Israel in Boulder, Colorado, had previously been employed in the healthcare sector and as a driver for a ridesharing service before carrying out the atrocious deed.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, aged 45, initially arrived in the United States on a temporary visa in August 2022. Following the expiration of this visa in February 2023, he chose to stay in the country. Subsequently, in the next month, he was issued a work visa that was valid until March of the current year.
According to information obtained by Fox News Digital, Soliman briefly worked in the accounting department of a medical facility named Veros Health, located in Centennial, a suburb of Denver, during the early stages of his authorized work period in the nation.

“He traveled to Boulder, Colorado, in his vehicle with the Molotov cocktails and threw two of the cocktails at individuals participating in a pro-Israel gathering,” the complaint says. “He also stated that he picked up gas at a gas station on the way to Boulder. He stated that he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead.”
