Who is Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the suspect in the Boulder attack on Jewish group?
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the suspect in the attack on a pro-Israel gathering in Colorado, has told police that he would do it again. He has been charged with a federal hate crime and first-degree assault, among other crimes. Who is Mohamed Sabry Soliman? Mr Soliman, 45, is originally from Egypt. In 2022, he arrived in California on a non-immigrant visa that expired in February 2023, according to CBS News. He had been living in Colorado Springs. An online CV under Mr Soliman's name said he was employed by a Denver-area healthcare company working in accounting and inventory control, with prior employers listed as companies in Egypt. Under education, the resume listed Al Azhar University in Cairo. Speaking to the Associated Press, neighbours said Mr Soliman had five children. According to court documents, Mr Soliman said he waited for his daughter to graduate before carrying out the attack. Tricia McLaughlin, spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a post on X that Mr Soliman 'is illegally in our country'. She said that Mr Soliman sought asylum in September 2022, but did not share details about the status of his claim. Who was the target of the attack? The alleged target of the attack was a group of people gathered in central Boulder calling for the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza. About 60 people are still believed to be held by Hamas and other militant groups in the enclave after being kidnapped in October 2023 during attacks on southern Israel; only about a third of them are believed to still be alive. Witnesses say Mr Soliman, armed with a makeshift flame-thrower and shouting "free Palestine", attacked the peaceful demonstration. In video circulating online, Mr Soliman can be heard shouting at bystanders: 'How many children have you killed?' and 'end Zionists'. Authorities have said that Mr Soliman prepared for the attack for a year, and that given the opportunity, he would do it again. Law enforcement found more than a dozen unlit Molotov cocktails near where Mr Soliman was arrested. Mr Soliman told investigators he constructed the home-made incendiary devices after doing research on YouTube and buying the ingredients, according to court documents. He is being held on a $10 million bond and was due to appear in court on Monday.

Police charge suspect who yelled 'free Palestine' while attacking pro-Israel group in Colorado
The man suspected of using a "makeshift flame-thrower" and other incendiary weapons to attack a group of people in Colorado as they gathered to raise awareness of hostages in Gaza faces at least eight criminal charges, including one for first-degree murder, although authorities have not said if anyone died from their injuries. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, yelled 'free Palestine' during Sunday's attack in the Rocky Mountain city of Boulder, said Mark Michalek, the special agent in charge of the FBI 's Denver field office. Eight people were injured, ranging in age from 52 to 88. The injuries were consistent with reports of people being set on fire, Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn said, adding that injuries ranged from serious to minor. Mr Soliman was arrested and taken to hospital for treatment, but authorities didn't elaborate on his injuries. Other preliminary charges include first-degree murder and using explosives or an incendiary device while committing a felony. In a video circulating on social media, Mr Soliman can be seen, shirtless, waving two bottles filled with liquid near the site of the attack. He repeatedly shouts 'how many children have you killed' and 'end Zionists' as people attend to the injured lying on the ground nearby. Following the attack, the FBI immediately described the violence as a 'targeted terror attack', although local police have been more cautious in ascribing a motive. Mr Soliman is an Egyptian national, government officials confirmed to CBS News. In 2022, he arrived in California on a non-immigrant visa that expired in February 2023 and had recently been living in Colorado Springs. Tricia McLaughlin, spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a post on X that Mr Soliman "is illegally in our country". The White House said President Donald Trump had been briefed on the incident. "Acts of Terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland," Mr Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. Demonstrators with a volunteer group called Run for Their Lives, which organises run and walk events to call for the release of the hostages who remain in Gaza, had gathered at the Pearl Street pedestrian mall, a four-block area in downtown Boulder frequented by tourists and students. The attack came at the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot. The incident was immediately condemned by US officials as well as world leaders. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement yesterday saying the "attack was aimed against peaceful people who wished to express their solidarity with the hostages held by Hamas, simply because they were Jews". The UAE also condemned the attack in the "strongest terms", with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirming the country's "permanent rejection of all forms of violence and terrorism targeting innocent people". The Anti-Defamation League said the attack was a result of anti-Jewish and anti-Zionist incitement. "We're witnessing a global campaign of intimidation and terror deliberately directed against the Jewish people," ADL chief executive and national director Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement. Law enforcement authorities in the US struggle with a sharp rise in anti-Semitic violence. It comes about a week after a man was arrested over the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staff members in Washington. He shouted 'free Palestine' as he was led away by police. This is not the first time Boulder has been the site of extreme violence: in 2021, a gunman opened fire in a grocery store, killing 10 people. Ahmad Al Aliwi Al-Issa, originally from Syria, was sentenced to life in prison for murder after a jury rejected his attempt to avoid prison time by pleading not guilty by reason of insanity.

How retail media unites brand and performance marketing
One of the most frustrating discussions for a chief marketing officer can be convincing the C-suite or the board to ramp up the awareness marketing spend. The cost leaves a dent in the profit and loss (P&L) statement and the uplift isn't seen anytime immediately, nor is it always so easy to measure. Sometimes, it's difficult to prove if there was any impact at all. Marketers have long wrestled with balancing immediate, measurable results against building lasting brand equity. Lower-funnel performance marketing is data-driven, conversion-focused and ROI-obsessed. Upper-funnel awareness shapes brand perception, loyalty and emotional connection over time. The objectives differ: Brand-building reaches consumers who aren't yet in-market, planting seeds of future demand through emotional resonance and memory structures, ensuring your brand is top of mind when they are ready to buy. Performance marketing captures existing demand, targeting ready-to-buy consumers with calls to action such as 'add to basket' or 'view product'. In the past, media consumption was relatively predictable. A brand might reach consumers through a TV campaign, complemented by print ads and radio – with a fairly linear journey from awareness to purchase. Today, however, media channels are highly fragmented. A single consumer might see a brand's Instagram ad while scrolling at breakfast, listen to a podcast sponsorship on their commute, get retargeted with a YouTube ad over lunch, read a review on an e-commerce site in the evening, and complete a purchase through a mobile app while watching Netflix. At the same time, consumer journeys have become more fluid and unpredictable. Shoppers no longer follow a neat path from awareness to consideration to conversion. They might move instantly from discovery to purchase – or loop back through stages multiple times – influenced by content, peer reviews, promotions and convenience at any given moment. This complexity makes it harder for brands to separate brand-building and performance into distinct activities. Platforms such as retail media, where consumers can be influenced and converted in the same moment – are increasingly necessary to meet customers wherever they are in their journey. The rise of retail media: A dual-purpose engine Retail media is reshaping how brands connect with consumers. E-commerce platforms or super apps are no longer just points of sale – they've become powerful advertising ecosystems. Traditional digital advertising is limited to the mid and upper funnel as users can't typically transact in the environment they consume the advert. In contrast, retail media, typically lower down the marketing funnel, allows brands to achieve both within a single ecosystem – building awareness through sponsorships and driving purchases through native placements, often in the same session. For marketers, this means no longer having to choose between long-term brand-building and short-term sales; retail media enables both simultaneously, backed by real-time measurement and first-party data. Logged-in environments: A strategic advantage A major strength of retail media is that it operates within logged-in ecosystems. Unlike traditional web traffic, where advertisers rely on cookies and proxies, retail media platforms have direct, first-party relationships with users. This unlocks precise targeting, personalised experiences and accurate measurement – all while respecting privacy. As third-party cookies disappear and data regulations tighten, logged-in environments are becoming the gold standard for digital advertising. At Careem, our Everything App connects millions of logged-in users across ride-hailing, food delivery, groceries and more. Through Careem Ads, brands can engage high-intent audiences in real-world moments, whether it's sponsoring a grocery category to drive awareness, promoting offers based on ride destinations, or activating around food and basket behaviour to boost conversions. With first-party data and real-time optimisation, advertisers can deliver targeted, measurable campaigns that build brand and drive performance – all within a single user journey. Beyond retailers: Retail media opens doors for non-endemic brands Retail media is no longer just for endemic brands selling through the platform. Increasingly, non-endemic brands, from financial services to telecoms and entertainment, are tapping into retail media to reach high-value, logged-in audiences at moments of real intent. A bank promoting a cashback card during a ride-hailing trip, or a streaming service advertising a new show in a food delivery journey, are no longer exceptions. At Careem, we've seen non-endemic advertisers creatively leverage our ecosystem to engage consumers at meaningful points of their everyday lives. This shift dramatically expands the retail media opportunity, opening new demand sources and accelerating innovation in how platforms are monetised. Regional momentum and maturity The Middle East's retail media landscape is evolving fast. Major e-commerce players are building sophisticated platforms that serve both brand and performance goals, fuelled by high mobile adoption, a young digital-first population, and a booming online commerce sector. As privacy regulations tighten, the importance of first-party insights – a core strength of retail media – is only growing, making it a strategic choice for marketers seeking both reach and responsibility. Practical impact: Meeting marketers where they are Retail media enables brands to run full-funnel strategies within a single, logged-in environment. Platforms such as Careem allow marketers to target specific premium audiences, personalise campaigns and attribute results accurately – delivering both brand-building and conversions seamlessly. For non-endemic brands, this unlocks a powerful new channel to engage audiences without needing a direct retail relationship. Rethinking the funnel in the age of retail media The classic marketing funnel – awareness, consideration and conversion – assumed a linear path. Today, consumers move from discovery to purchase in minutes, often across multiple devices and platforms. Retail media matches this reality, allowing brands to reach and convert audiences seamlessly within trusted environments. In a region as dynamic as the Middle East, adopting integrated, full-funnel retail media strategies isn't optional; it's becoming essential. Brands that separate brand-building and performance risk missing out on both growth and efficiency. Looking ahead As marketing budgets face more scrutiny and expectations for ROI increase, the industry will need more solutions that don't force a binary choice between short-term results and long-term brand strength. Retail media offers a compelling answer with its ability to deliver both. By Tayab Hasan, General Manager – Ads, Careem
