Many of Alabama’s political leaders are speaking out after several people were injured in a terrorist attack against a Jewish group in Colorado on Sunday.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian illegal immigrant, is facing federal hate crime charges after he allegedly used a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to set a group of Jewish people on fire, one of them being a Holocaust survivor.
The group was participating in a peaceful walk to call for the release of the hostages who are still in Hamas captivity.
“I strongly condemn the heinous antisemitic terrorist attack on Jewish Americans in Colorado,” Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said. “This vile act of violence is unacceptable.
