FBI gives update on Colorado attack against march for Israeli hostages
FBI Update on Colorado Attack Against March for Israeli HostagesOn Sunday, February 12, 2023, agents of the FBI along with local officials conducted a press conference following an attack against a pro-Palestinian march in Boulder, Colorado. The event resulted in five individuals being injured, with one fatality confirmed at the scene.
The attack occurred during a peaceful protest organized by a group advocating for Palestinian rights, which was scheduled to take place along a major highway. Witnesses described the incident as an aggressive assault by a lone attacker who threw a Molotov cocktail, leading to injuries and scattered debris.
FBI Director Chris Wray stated that investigations are ongoing, emphasizing that this appears to be an isolated incident. Authorities have recovered evidence suggesting that the suspect had previously interacted with local authorities but was believed to be acting alone at the time of the attack.
As of now, no arrests have been made, and the FBI is urging caution for similar events in the Boulder area. The March for Israeli Hostages has temporarily ceased its operations pending further developments.
This incident underscores the importance of peaceful protest and the need for vigilance in public spaces. Authorities are working diligently to provide updates on the investigation and to ensure the safety of all individuals involved.
