The daughter of Colorado terror suspect Mohamed Soliman suggested her family moved to the US so she could pursue a “dream” career in medicine — professing that America “fundamentally changed
me” just weeks before her father’s heinous alleged attack that flew in the face of the country’s core values. Habiba Soliman relocated from Kuwait to the US with her family two years ago
and settled near Colorado Springs, where she enrolled at the Thomas Maclaren School, according to a glowing profile in the Denver Gazette about winners of its “Best and Brightest”
scholarship for graduating high school seniors. She was born in Egypt but spent most of her life in Kuwait, according to the Gazette, and was inspired to pursue a career in medicine after
watching the “magic” of a surgery that allowed her father to walk again. Kuwaiti residency laws prevented Habiba from going to medical school, however, and it was her family’s recent move to
the US that allowed her dream to become a reality, she said in her “Best and Brightest” application. “Coming to the USA has fundamentally changed me,” Habiba wrote. “I learned to adapt to
new things even if it was hard. I learned to work under pressure and improve rapidly in a very short amount of time. EXPLORE MORE “Most importantly, I came to appreciate that family is the
unchanging support,” she added. But Habiba — along with her mother and her four siblings — is now in ICE custody after her father was arrested in Boulder on Sunday for hurling Molotov
cocktails at a peaceful march honoring Israeli hostages, injuring 12 people and leaving one in critical condition. The family has been stripped of its visas and is expected to be deported
through an expedited process, law enforcement sources told The Post. Soliman — who was in the US illegally after overstaying a visa in March — allegedly spent a year plotting the attack, and
waited until his daughter graduated high school to carry it out. He tried to buy guns during his planning but was unable to because of his illegal status, so he allegedly settled on using
Molotov cocktails and flaming gasoline pumped from a hose to attack his victims. ------------------------- STAY UP TO DATE ON THE BOULDER, COLORADO, TERROR ATTACK -------------------------
Footage from the scene showed the 45-year-old leering over the chaos and screaming antisemitic slurs as marchers rushed to douse flames on the limp bodies of victims. The attack was called
“an antisemitic terror attack” by the White House and FBI, and Soliman has been charged with federal hate crimes and attempted murder. After his arrest, Soliman told police he wanted to
“kill all Zionist people,” that he “wished they were all dead” and that he’d do it again if given the chance, according to court documents. He also expected the attack to be a suicide
mission, and left notes for his family hidden in their apartment.
