BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — The wife and five children of the man accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at demonstrators in Boulder who were calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza, injuring 12 of them, were being taken into custody Tuesday by federal immigration authorities, officials said.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who was disguised as a gardener, had 18 Molotov cocktails and had planned to kill all the demonstrators but apparently had second thoughts, throwing just two during Sunday’s attack in which he yelled “Free Palestine,” police said. Soliman, 45, didn’t carry out his full plan “because he got scared and had never hurt anyone before,” police wrote in an affidavit.
