The emir of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) directed American Muslims to assassinate President Donald Trump, calling assassinations &#8220;the greatest form of jihad today&#8221; in a video released by AQAP over the weekend and <a href="https://www.memri.org/reports/video-leader-al-qaeda-arabian-peninsula-aqap-calls-american-muslims-assassinate-president">translated</a> by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
The leader, Sa&#8217;ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, also listed Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Elon Musk, and the U.S. Senate as targets, calling them &#8220;the scum of the earth.&#8221; The video showed photos and footage of American officials as al-Awlaki identified them.
&#8220;Go after them and their families and all those who have any ties or are close to the politicians of the White House,&#8221; al-Awlaki said. &#8220;There are no red lines after all that has been happening to our people in Gaza.&#8221;
Al-Awlaki pointed to non-Muslim violence, including the attempted assassination of Trump in July of 2024, as examples for Muslims to follow.
&#8220;Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans,&#8221; al-Awlaki said.
AQAP is an affiliate of the Sunni Islamist terrorist organization al-Qaeda, which was founded by Osama bin Laden, according to a <a href="https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF11854">Congressional Research Service</a> report. The group primarily operates in Yemen.
Al-Awlaki has led AQAP after the sudden death of its previous leader in March 2024, according to the <a href="https://www.fdd.org/analysis/op_eds/2024/03/11/al-qaeda-in-the-arabian-peninsula-names-new-emir-u-s-has-6-million-bounty-on-his-head/">Foundation for Defense of Democracies</a>. The United States is <a href="https://rewardsforjustice.net/rewards/saad-bin-atef-al-awlaki/">offering</a> a reward of up to $6 million for information about al-Awlaki due to previous calls for attacks against the United States.
Al-Awlaki also told Muslims to attack U.S. military bases, as well as U.S. companies such as Microsoft and Tesla. He also directed Muslim hackers to &#8220;go after the American economy.&#8221;
Al-Awlaki said American Muslims should &#8220;take revenge&#8221; against &#8220;those who support the war in Gaza&#8221; and concluded by calling for Muslims to attack Jews in the United States and Europe.

&#8220;Do not leave a single safe place for Jews, just as they have not left any homes, shelters, or respite for the Palestinians,&#8221; al-Awlaki said.
The AQAP has weakened since its peak in the 2010s, according to FDD, but it remains &#8220;a significant threat to Yemen and further afield.&#8221; A United Nations report said AQAP has maintained connections with Al-Qaeda&#8217;s central leadership.
The video comes after Trump recently banned travel from Yemen and other countries with inadequate &#8220;information-sharing and identity-management procedures,&#8221; The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/we-dont-want-them-trump-slaps-travel-ban-on-countries-whose-citizens-arent-vetted">reported</a>. The memorandum cited protecting American citizens from terrorist attacks as a reason for the ban.
The most recent report to the United Nations Security Council <a href="https://docs.un.org/en/S/2025/71/Rev.1">said</a> al-Awlaki has &#8220;consolidated control of&#8221; AQAP since becoming the terrorist group&#8217;s leader.
&#8220;The media arm of AQAP, considered by many to be Al-Qaeda’s strongest, exploited conflicts, including the Gaza and Israel conflict, to recruit and incite lone actors to conduct attacks,&#8221; the report said.

More than 100 House Democrats voted on Monday against a resolution condemning the recent fire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/terror-in-colorado-pro-israel-demonstrators-attacked-in-firebombing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attack</a> in Boulder, Colorado, on people demonstrating in support of hostages kidnapped by Hamas in the October 7, 2023, assault on Israel.
The <a href="https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20250609/H%20Res%206.8.25.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">measure</a>, which denounces the &#8220;antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado&#8221; and offers a critique of the U.S. immigration system because the suspect was an illegal immigrant, <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025158" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> with strong bipartisan support from 205 Republicans and 75 Democrats. However, 113 Democrats opposed the resolution, leaving them open to broadsides from Republicans.
&#8220;House Democrats just sided with terrorists over cops and couldn’t even bring themselves to condemn antisemitism. They&#8217;re officially the antisemite and anti-cop caucus,&#8221; Mike Marinella, a spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the Republican Jewish Coalition posted a list on X of all the Democrats who voted against the resolution, calling their opposition &#8220;shameful.&#8221;

In addition, it mentions Soliman is an Egyptian national who overstayed his visa and his case &#8220;demonstrates the dangers of not removing from the country aliens who fail to comply with the terms of their visas.&#8221; The resolution also expresses gratitude to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — a federal agency <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-comes-out-against-abolishing-ice-ice-is-not-the-problem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">derided</a> by some Democrats.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) chided Rep. Gabe Evans (R-CO), who introduced the resolution, during a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/znhJ3NB434E?t=218s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a> before the vote.
&#8220;Who is this guy? He&#8217;s not seriously concerned with combating antisemitism in America. This is not a serious effort. This guy&#8217;s going to be a one-term member of Congress. He&#8217;s a complete and total embarrassment,&#8221; Jeffries said. The top Democrat also <a href="https://x.com/NRCC/status/1932166132691083613" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> the resolution and Evans a &#8220;joke.&#8221;
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) fired back at Jeffries in a <a href="https://x.com/SteveScalise/status/1932172219494342769" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> on X.
&#8220;Only radical Democrats would call it a joke to denounce antisemitic terrorism and express gratitude to law enforcement for detaining the terrorist here illegally who perpetrated the Boulder attack,&#8221; Scalise said. &#8220;Appreciate [Evans] — a veteran and former law enforcement officer &#8211; for leading on this important resolution.&#8221;
Evans, a first-term congressman who is a former Army Black Hawk helicopter pilot and police officer, also delivered a retort.
&#8220;I served our nation in uniform in the Middle East, as a cop in Colorado, &amp; now as a Congressman,&#8221; Evans <a href="https://x.com/repgabeevans/status/1932192483510759662" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;This wildly offensive sentiment from Democrat’s Leader is why antisemitism persists. The Left is unserious about finding real solutions. Condemning terrorism is not a joking matter.&#8221;
Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO), who represents Boulder, had pushed for the House to go with his own <a href="https://neguse.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/neguse.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/neguse_085_xml_0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a> condemning the attack and criticized the measure from Evans. Among his complaints were that it contained small &#8220;inaccuracies&#8221; and failed to recognize the Boulder Police Department or FBI for their response to the firebombing — only ICE, &#8220;the one agency that was not in Boulder that day.&#8221;
Still, Neguse ended up voting to pass the measure from Evans, which did affirm &#8220;that free and open communication between State and local law enforcement and their Federal counterparts remains the bedrock of public safety and is necessary in preventing terrorist attacks.&#8221;
A Democrat who voted against the resolution, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do7FZ00kQIo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">griped</a> about how arguing the Boulder attack is a &#8220;reflection&#8221; of the U.S. immigration system &#8220;uses Jews as a partisan pawn.&#8221;
Nearly all House Republicans and Democrats joined together to pass another <a href="https://vandrew.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1875" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a> from Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) condemning antisemitic violence across the United States — including the Boulder firebombing — in the midst of a &#8220;disturbing pattern of targeted aggression&#8221; that also encompasses the recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republicans-condemn-evil-murder-of-israeli-embassy-staffers-antisemitic-terrorism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killing</a> of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., and an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/arsonist-arrested-for-attack-on-josh-shapiro-hated-israel-911-call-reveals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arson attack</a> on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/suspect-in-custody-to-be-charged-with-terrorism-after-arson-attack-on-josh-shapiros-home?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Suspect+In+Custody" target="_blank" rel="noopener">home</a> of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish.

A Colombian illegal alien who attempted to join ISIS after being released into the country by the Biden administration has been captured by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), The Daily Wire can exclusively reveal.
ICE says that the 35-year-old illegal alien from Colombia entered the United States in Lukeville, Arizona on July 14, 2024. He was then apprehended by Customs and Border Protection, who found he did not have valid documentation. He was entered into removal proceedings, but was later released into the interior of the United States by the Biden administration.
Then he tried to join ISIS.
ICE learned from the Department of Justice in May that the Colombian illegal alien was in communication with a social media account that claimed to arrange travel and combat training for those who want to join the Islamic terror organization. The social media account asked the illegal alien to record and send videos of himself pledging allegiance to ISIS.
He was arrested on May 22, 2025 in a joint effort between ICE and the FBI in the Boston area during Operation Patriot, a wider operation in the area that resulted in the arrest of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/largest-ever-ice-operation-results-nearly-1500-illegals-arrested-blue-state">nearly</a> 1,500 illegal aliens in the region.
&#8220;This Colombian alien entered the country illegally and was released under the Biden administration. He went on to engage with an ISIS recruiter,&#8221; an ICE spokesman told The Daily Wire. &#8220;If we’re going to make America safe again, we need to ensure those coming to this country do so legally, and are properly processed, which for four years was not the case.”
News of the Colombian&#8217;s arrest comes just after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ice-arrests-suspected-al-qaeda-member-released-into-u-s-by-biden-admin?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=ICE+Arrests+Suspected+Al+Qaeda+Member+Released+Into+U.S.+By+Biden+Admin">ICE arrested</a> a suspected member of Al Qaeda late last month in Philadelphia. That man, a Tajikistan-born Russian national, entered the United States by way of California in 2023 and was similarly paroled into the interior of the country under the Biden administration despite not having an immigrant visa.
ICE and the FBI worked together to arrest the man after Tajikistan warned that the illegal alien is a fugitive thought to have ties to a criminal organization. The Russian national is now in ICE custody, pending his removal from the United States.
Just days before the arrests became public, a different illegal alien, this one an Egyptian national, injured several people in a firebombing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/suspect-in-colorado-attack-on-pro-israel-demonstration-is-in-u-s-illegally-report?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=5&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Suspect+In+Colorado+Attack+On+Pro-Israel+Demonstration+Is+In+U.S.+Illegally%3A+Report">terrorist attack</a> against a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado.
The Biden administration not only witnessed a drastic surge in the number of terror suspects who attempted to enter the United States, but also attempted to cover up the surge, one former Border Patrol Chief <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-border-patrol-agent-reveals-biden-harris-told-him-to-hide-number-of-terrorists-crossing-border">charged</a> last year.
“In San Diego, we had an exponential increase in significant interest aliens. These are aliens with significant ties to terrorism,” Former Chief Patrol Officer Aaron Heitke said during a hearing with the Homeland Security Committee in September. “Prior to this administration, the San Diego sector averaged 10 to 15 SIA arrests per year. Once word was out the border was far easier to cross San Diego went to over 100 SIAs in 2022 well over that in 2023, and even more than that registered this year.&#8221;
The Biden administration, Heitke said, barred him from publicly discussing the drastic increase.
“At the time I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests,” he said, adding that the administration “was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border.”
Some terror suspects were actually let into the country. The Biden administration even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-gave-asylum-to-nearly-600-migrants-with-terrorism-ties-trump-says">paroled</a> hundreds of potential terrorists into the interior of the United States, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard explained in April.
“Just the other day, we found 700 alien terrorists who have ties to MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the Sinaloa cartel,” Gabbard revealed during a cabinet meeting in the White House. She added that the National Counterterrorism Center “identified almost 600 individuals with ties to other terrorists who came through our border illegally, claimed asylum, and under the Biden administration were paroled here within our borders.”

The attorney representing Mohamed Sabry Soliman — the terrorist charged with firebombing a peaceful pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado — was reportedly barred from practicing law just six years earlier over what was described as “misconduct concerning an immigration matter.”
The Federalist’s Sean Davis shared the story in a post on X, explaining that attorney Susanna Dvortsin had been reprimanded by the South Dakota Supreme Court and barred from practicing law in that state in 2019.
“Guess who was banned from practicing law in 2019 for immigration misconduct? The attorney for the illegal immigrant family of the Egyptian terrorist who set a bunch of Jews on fire in Colorado.&#8221;
In 2019, the South Dakota Supreme Court prohibited Susanna Dvortsin from practicing law in the state due to ‘misconduct concerning an immigration matter,’” Davis began.
&#8220;The U.S. Department of Justice went even further in 2019 and banned Dvortsin from practicing law before the Department of Homeland Security,” he added.
The statement from the Justice Department read, “[Dvortsin] is immediately suspended from the practice of law before the Board [of Immigration Appeals], the Immigration Courts, or the DHS.”

He also included a screenshot of  the decision rendered by the Board of Immigration Appeals, which did not detail the nature of the “misconduct,” but affirmed the South Dakota Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling to bar her from practicing for 115 days and stated that she should also be barred from practicing law before the Board, DHS, or Immigration Courts. The order also stated that Dvortsin was to notify all parties in any pending cases set to go before those designated bodies of her suspension.

A Biden-appointed judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked immigration officials from deporting the wife and five children of Mohamed Soliman, who firebombed pro-Israel demonstrators on Sunday.
&#8220;Defendants are temporarily restrained and enjoined from removing Hayem El Gamal and her five minor children from the State of Colorado or the United States,&#8221; U.S. District Judge Gordon Gallagher wrote in the order, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/biden-appointed-judge-blocks-deportation-boulder-attack-suspects-family-despite-visa-violations">reported</a>.
The temporary restraining order grants brief protection from deportation to Soliman’s wife, Hayem El Gamal, and their five children, all Egyptian nationals, after Kristi Noem’s Department of Homeland Security initially <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ice-seizes-wife-5-kids-of-terrorist-who-firebombed-pro-israel-crowd?author=Nathan+Gay&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=ICE+Seizes+Wife%2C+5+Kids+Of+Terrorist+Who+Firebombed+Pro-Israel+Crowd">intended</a> to use expedited removal to deport the family.
Judge Gallagher <a href="https://assets.bwbx.io/documents/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/rqSrSAnQPqMM/v0">stated</a> that &#8220;deportation without process could work irreparable harm and an order must issue without notice due to the urgency this situation presents.&#8221;
The judge&#8217;s order specifically prohibits federal immigration officials from removing Soliman&#8217;s family from either Colorado or the United States, unless the order is vacated by the court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
Gallagher claims the order is being handled on an emergency basis due to &#8220;its urgency and an ongoing jury trial resulting in the unavailability&#8221; of the originally assigned judge, according to a footnote in the court document.
Gallagher has scheduled a hearing on the request for a temporary restraining order for June 13 at the federal courthouse in Denver, with the petitioner required to file a supporting memorandum by June 6 and defendants ordered to respond by June 11.

Federal authorities on Tuesday took into custody the wife and all five children of Egyptian national and anti-Israel terrorist Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who firebombed pro-Israel demonstrators after overstaying his visa during the Biden era.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the ICE arrests in a video post on X, with sources telling Fox News and the New York Post that the family is being processed for expedited deportation following questioning.
“This terrorist will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Noem said. “We are investigating to what extent his family knew about this heinous attack, if they had knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it.”

Soliman, 45, severely injured 12 pro-Israel demonstrators at a Boulder, Colorado rally using a “makeshift flamethrower” and Molotov cocktails thrown into the crowd while yelling “Free Palestine!” and “End Zionist,” The Independent reported.
Soliman’s relatives, who have had their visas revoked, are being detained at an immigration detention center in southern Texas, and following interrogation, officials intend to use expedited removal to deport the family, sources <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/03/us-news/colorado-terror-attack-suspect-mohamed-sabry-solimans-wife-5-children-detained-by-ice/">told</a> the Post.
The arrests come after Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared to foreshadow Tuesday’s events in an X post on Monday.
“In light of yesterday’s horrific attack, all terrorists, their family members, and terrorist sympathizers here on a visa should know that under the Trump Administration we will find you, revoke your visa, and deport you,” Rubio said.

Soliman now <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/family-boulder-firebombing-suspect-taken-federal-custody-sources">faces</a> 16 counts of attempted first-degree murder, along with charges for assault and possession of incendiary devices, and if convicted on all counts with consecutive sentences, he could face up to 624 years in state prison.
Additionally, federal authorities have charged him with a hate crime involving actual or perceived race, religion, or national origin, per Fox News.
Soliman is currently being held on a $10 million bond with his next court appearance scheduled for Thursday, June 5 at 3:30 p.m. MT.

NBC News took a wave of backlash over a Monday headline addressing the most recent terror attack — driven by anti-Israel sentiment — that took place over the weekend in Boulder, Colorado.

But as critics quickly pointed out, a string of &#8220;lone wolf&#8221; attacks all apparently driven by the same hatred, the same ideological views — and, in some cases, the same religion — quickly becomes less of a lone wolf and more of a predictable pattern of behavior.

The man accused of using a makeshift flamethrower and molotov cocktails to attack a demonstration in support of hostages in Gaza originally planned to use a gun, according to Boulder County officials.
Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/02/us-news/boulder-terror-attack-suspect-planned-mass-shooting-but-was-stopped-from-buying-gun-due-to-immigration-status/">said</a> in a press conference Monday afternoon that Mohamed Sabry Soliman attempted to purchase a gun to attack demonstrators, but was blocked by gun laws.
Soliman planned the attack for at least a year, according to authorities. His initial plan involved using a firearm. He took a concealed carry class to learn how to shoot. But when he attempted to buy a gun, he was stopped because his visa had expired, Dougherty said.
Documents filed in a state court say that Soliman “had to use Molotov cocktails after he was denied the purchase of a gun due to him not being a legal citizen,” according to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/boulder-attack-suspect-us-illegally-homeland-security/story?id=122409898">ABC News</a>.
Soliman “researched on YouTube how to make Molotov Cocktails, purchased the ingredients to do so, and constructed them,” the documents say.
The suspect is an Egyptian national who is in the United States illegally, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Department spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/colorado-hits-egyptian-anti-israel-terror-suspect-with-charges-including-murder">said</a> Monday that Soliman is in the United States on an expired visa.

“The Colorado Terrorist attack suspect, Mohamed Soliman, is illegally in our country,” said McLaughlin. “He entered the country in August 2022 on a B2 visa that expired on February 2023. He filed for asylum in September 2022.”
Boulder County prosecutors have charged Soliman with 16 counts of first degree murder, as well as using incendiary devices to commit a felony and assault. Soliman faces over 600 years in prison if convicted on all charges, according to Dougherty.
Soliman allegedly attacked the group of demonstrators with a makeshift flamethrower and firebombs. A dozen people so far have reported injuries from the attack. None of the victims have died.
FBI Director Kash Patel called the incident a “targeted terror attack.” Federal prosecutors have charged Soliman with a hate crime.
Soliman told investigators that “he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead.” The suspect said that “this had nothing to do with the Jewish community and was specific in the Zionist group supporting the killings of people on his land,” according to court documents.

Colorado Attacker Planned Mass Shooting, But Couldn’t Buy A Gun Because He’s An Illegal

A man who was in the United States illegally is facing charges related to attempted murder, assault, and incendiary devices over an attack on a pro-Israel demonstration in Colorado over the weekend.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman is suspected of attacking demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday with a makeshift flamethrower and fire bombs. He was booked in Boulder County Jail on Sunday night after being treated for some burn wounds sustained in the attack. He is being held on a $10 million bond, according to <a href="https://bouldercounty.gov/safety/jail/listing-and-booking-reports/">The Guardian</a>.
Soliman is charged with a federal hate crime. <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/1929583795805524440">According</a> to court documents, he admitted he wanted to kill all Zionist people and spent a year planning Sunday&#8217;s attack on a &#8220;Zionist group.&#8221;
Soliman is facing a slew of charges related to the attack, according to the Boulder County <a href="https://bouldercounty.gov/safety/jail/listing-and-booking-reports/">website</a>. Those charges include first-degree assault – heat of passion, use of an incendiary device during a felony, crimes against the elderly, murder in the first degree – extreme indifference.
The attack wounded eight people, none of whom have died, according to <a href="https://x.com/boulderpolice/status/1929544758738751982">Boulder police</a>.
Soliman, 45, allegedly yelled “free Palestine” during the attack. Video shows Soliman holding bottles of a clear liquid that were allegedly makeshift incendiary devices. The FBI said that the suspect also used a “makeshift flamethrower” during the attack.
The FBI has called the attack a “targeted act of violence.”
“We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado,” FBI director Kash Patel <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/boulder-colorado-suspected-terror-attack-suspect-mohamed-sabry-soliman-faces-murder-assault-other-charges">said</a>. “Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available.”

The attack targeted a demonstration by “Run for Their Lives Denver,” which was leading a march calling for the release of hostages taken by the terror group Hamas during the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said that Soliman is in the United States illegally on an overstayed visa.
“The Colorado Terrorist attack suspect, Mohamed Soliman, is illegally in our country,” said McLaughlin. “He entered the country in August 2022 on a B2 visa that expired on February 2023. He filed for asylum in September 2022.”

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis called the attack a “heinous and targeted act on the Jewish community,” in a statement.
“As the Jewish community reels from the recent antisemitic murders in Washington, D.C., it is unfathomable that the community is facing another antisemitic attack here in Boulder, on the eve of the holiday of Shavuot,” said Polis. “Several individuals were brutally attacked while peacefully drawing attention to the plight of hostages who have been held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza for 604 days. Hate is unacceptable in our Colorado for all, and I condemn this act of terror. The suspect should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Colorado Hits Egyptian Anti-Israel Terror Suspect With Charges Including Murder

Multiple people were injured Sunday in a firebombing attack at an event in Boulder, Colorado, meant to show support for hostages kidnapped by Hamas in the October 7, 2023, assault on Israel, officials said.
In a press conference, Boulder Police Chief Steven Redfearn <a href="https://x.com/boulderpolice/status/1929297731769536683" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> officers arrived on the scene in response to reports of people being set on fire before 2 p.m. local time and found victims with &#8220;injuries consistent with burns and other injuries.&#8221; They were sent to the hospital, he said.
An adult male suspect was detained and also taken to a hospital with minor injuries, Redfearn said.
Officials are investigating the attack. Redfearn noted that he could not ID the suspect right away.
&#8220;This act is unacceptable,&#8221; Redfearn said.

Terror In Colorado: Pro-Israel Demonstrators Attacked In Firebombing

Iranian-backed groups and pro-Hamas Islamists celebrated the horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staff at a D.C. Jewish museum on Wednesday, hailing it as “a moment of courage” and a &#8220;heroic attack&#8221; against &#8220;the Zionist entity.&#8221;
Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, were exiting an event for young Jewish professionals, where they were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/israeli-embassy-staff-murdered-by-unidentified-shooter-outside-capitol-jewish-museum?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=13&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Two+Israeli+Embassy+Staffers+Murdered+By+Keffiyeh-Wearing+Man+Shouting+%E2%80%98Free+Palestine%E2%80%99+In+DC">shot</a> at close range by 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago, who is now in custody.
The suspected attacker is reportedly not Muslim, but carried out the attack in support of Hamas, reportedly yelling “Free, free Palestine,” while shooting at the couple.
&#8220;I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza, I am unarmed,&#8221; Rodriguez told police after the shooting, according to an FBI affidavit.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) <a href="https://www.memri.org/jttm/palestinian-factions-iran-backed-iraqi-militias-jihadi-clerics-celebrate-deadly-shooting-jewish">reports</a> that the pro-Hamas Gaza Now media outlet glorified Rodriguez on Telegram, claiming that &#8220;in a moment of courage, he decided to make his voice heard and boldly confront the killers.&#8221;
“He opened fire, killing an Israeli employee, and stood defiantly, handcuffed, to raise the banner of justice in the face of injustice,” the group said.
The Iranian-backed Palestinian Mujahideen Movement, a terrorist organization separate from Hamas that has <a href="https://intelligence.weforum.org/monitor/latest-knowledge/f947690f2acd4761ac47bab4bfa66f9b">claimed</a> responsibility for rocket attacks against Israel, said in a statement that the attack reflected &#8220;growing global anger&#8221; toward Israel for its supposed &#8220;barbaric crimes&#8221; in Gaza and declared that Israel&#8217;s &#8220;ongoing impunity&#8221; is a &#8220;threat to international stability and peace,&#8221; MEMRI reported.

A Telegram channel called &#8220;Unit 10000,&#8221; affiliated with Iran-backed militias in Iraq, shared a video showing the arrest of the suspect and praised the shooting as a &#8220;heroic attack&#8221; against &#8220;the Zionist entity.&#8221;
Syrian jihadi cleric Abu Yahya Al-Shami published a post on Telegram praising the shooter and urging Muslims to follow his example.
The cleric expressed fury at Muslim &#8220;indolence&#8221; in waging jihad, indignant that &#8220;infidels&#8221; such as Rodriguez are murdering Israelis while Muslims remain &#8220;inactive.&#8221;
Federal authorities are investigating the shooting as a domestic terrorism incident with possible international connections.
Rodriguez is being <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/charges-revealed-in-d-c-terror-attack-shooter-did-it-for-palestine-fbi-says?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Charges+Revealed+In+D.C.+Terror+Attack%3B+Shooter+%E2%80%98Did+It+For+Palestine%2C%E2%80%99+FBI+Says">charged</a> with murder of foreign officials, causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, and two counts of first-degree murder, according to an FBI affidavit.
The FBI is currently investigating Rodriguez&#8217;s online activities and potential ties to extremist groups, though initial reports suggest he was radicalized primarily through social media content related to the Gaza conflict.
The suspect had no prior criminal record, but had reportedly become increasingly vocal about pro-Palestinian causes on various social media platforms in recent months.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino <a href="https://x.com/FBIDDBongino/status/1925580947463762139">said</a> on X, “The FBI is aware of certain writings allegedly authored by the suspect, and we hope to have updates as to the authenticity very soon.”
Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Washington Jeanine Pirro clarified that domestic terrorism charges could likely be added to Rodriguez’s case following the conclusion of the FBI investigation into the suspect.
“Violence against anyone based on their religion is an act of cowardice. It is not the act of a hero. It is the kind of case that we will vigorously pursue,” Pirro said at a Thursday press conference. “Antisemitism will not be tolerated, especially in the nation’s capital. We are going to continue to investigate this as a hate crime and a crime of terrorism and we will add additional charges as the evidence warrants.”

Murder

Washington D.C.

Prosecutors have charged Elias Rodriguez with federal and local counts related to a terror attack in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday evening.
Rodriguez, 31, allegedly shot and killed Israeli Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and American Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26, outside an event for Jewish professionals at the Capital Jewish Museum. The victims were soon to be engaged and were members of the Israeli Embassy staff.
The suspect will face three federal counts: murder of foreign officials, causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence. He has also been charged with two counts of first degree murder, according to an FBI affidavit.
Rodriguez admitted to killing the young couple to police, according to the FBI.
“[Rodriguez] spontaneously stated on scene to MPD, ‘I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza, I am unarmed.’ [Rodriguez] was holding a red scarf identified by one witness as a ‘Kaffiyeh.’ As MPD officers were escorting [Rodriguez] from the Museum, he shouted ‘Free Palestine,’” the affidavit says.
Rodriguez walked past the couple and several others before turning around, pulling a gun from his waistband, and shooting Lischinsky and Milgrim in their backs, the affidavit says. Milgrim attempted to crawl away before she was shot several more times.
“Once the decedents fell to the ground, [Rodriguez] is captured on the video advancing closer to the decedents, leaning over with them with his arm extended, and firing several more times. As [Milgrim] attempted to crawl away from [Rodriguez], he followed behind her and fired again. After a brief moment, [Rodriguez] appeared to reload his firearm. At the same time, [Milgrim] sat up. Once he reloaded, [Rodriguez] fired several times at [Milgrim],” the affidavit says.

Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Washington Jeanine Pirro <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6373255823112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">condemned</a> the shooting as a “horrific crime” and said that more charges against Rodriguez may be coming.
