Crazed Attacker Unleashes Molotov Cocktails on Jewish Protest in the USA
Premeditated Assault on American Jewish Protest Gathering
After a vicious attack with Molotov cocktails on a Jewish demonstration in Colorado, the list of injured has swelled to a staggering twelve. The authorities in Boulder announced that four more victims had emerged, pushing the total count from eight to twelve. The suspected instigator, a cold-blooded planner, displayed no sign of remorse, and investigators claimed he had more than a dozen untouched Molotv cocktails.
The attacker targeted a crowd of protesters in Boulder on Sunday who were rallying to bring attention to the Israeli hostages still being held by the Islamic Hamas in Gaza. Among the victims of the Colorado attack were senior citizens, including a Holocaust survivor.
According to witnesses, the attacker hurled two Molotov cocktails into the crowd, accompanied by the pro-Palestinian cry of "Free Palestine." Witnesses also reported that he had used some kind of flamethrower during the assault, which resulted in several burn injuries. As of now, two victims are hospitalized, with the police confirming the news. The remaining four sustained only minor injuries, information on which was revealed subsequently.
"Executioner's Delight in Their Demise"
Post-attack, 16 additional untouched Molotov cocktails were recovered by investigators, hinting at the potential for a much grislier outcome. The perpetrator was apprehended at the scene. According to White House sources, he was in the USA on an expired visa, having overstayed a tourist visa.
Investigative discussions with the suspect following his apprehension revealed his chilling thoughts. He admitted to initially attempting to acquire a weapon, but as a non-resident, he was unable to do so. Subsequently, he turned to the internet for guidance on creating Molotov cocktails and sourced the necessary materials.
In a court document, it was documented that the man confessed, "I wished for the extermination of all Zionist folk." He displayed no remorse, and his intention to carry out a similar attack again was unequivocal. He had been planning the attack for a year and was only waiting for his daughter to graduate before executing it.
Politics: A Terrorist Act?
The suspected attacker is being charged with multiple offenses, including using Molotov cocktails, attempted murder in several cases, and a federal hate crime charge. If convicted, he faces a life sentence, as per law enforcement agencies.
Shortly after the incident, the FBI categorized it as a "premediated act of violence." Representatives of the US government, including President Donald Trump, swiftly labeled it an act of terrorism.

- The Commission has also been consulted on the draft directive regarding the Molotov cocktail attack in Boulder, Colorado, as it involves a federal hate crime and war-and-conflicts, given the anti-Semitic sentiment displayed by the attacker.
- In addition to the general news and crime-and-justice coverage, the politics section should explore the potential implications of the Boulder Molotov cocktail attack on the US-Israel relations, especially considering the rise in anti-Israel sentiment and Antisemitism in the USA.
