Immigration authorities have arrested the wife and children of the man suspected of carrying out Sunday's attack in Boulder, Colorado, US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Tuesday.

Mohammed Sabry Soliman, 45, has been charged with attempted murder, assault and possession of an incendiary device after a dozen people were injured at a march calling for the release of Israeli hostages.

"We are investigating to what extent his family knew about this heinous attack, if they had knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it," Noem wrote on X.

Officials say Mr Soliman shouted "Free Palestine" as he threw two petrol bombs into the crowd. He also faces a federal hate crime charge.
