Targeted Terror Attack' in Boulder — “motive unclear” (to the usual people)

An Egyptian national who came into the country two years ago and overstayed his visa has been charged in the gruesome terror attack that left six people injured in Boulder, Colo., Saturday, authorities said.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested at the scene, after he allegedly set his victims on fire as they peacefully rallied on behalf of Israeli hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza. Soliman was heard yelling "Free Palestine" and other anti-Israel slogans during the attack on victims ranging in age from 67 to 88.

Juliette Kayyem, one of the network’s national security analysts, came under fire after challenging FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino when they declared Sunday’s violence at a pro-Israel rally in Boulder a “targeted terror attack.”

“It makes law enforcement look disorganized and it makes the FBI look so juvenile, like why are you getting ahead of the police chief who says ‘I don’t know what this is,'” Kayyem said on air late Sunday in the wake of the incident.

“We’re going to take a step back, not be responsive to tweets by two heads of the FBI who don’t have a long history in law enforcement,” she continued.

“And we will wait and hope it isn’t what we all worry it is — and if it is, then there’ll be an investigation.”

Kayyem, a former Department of Homeland Security official under President Barack Obama and current Harvard professor, added that if the probe found the violence was spurred by terrorism, she’d be the first to say it’s a “hate crime.”

“But until we do, we all need to, to not follow the FBI’s tweets,” she said.

“Former Obama Homeland Security officer and current Harvard professor” says it all.

Here’s Mr. Mohamed “allegedly” in action, motive unclear:

Fortunately, Boulder’s police chief is the right man for the right city to handle this. From his official biography:
