Summary
A man who stabbed author Salman Rushdie in 2022 has been convicted in a federal trial on charges of terrorism. The attack occurred during a literary event in New York, leaving Rushdie severely injured but alive.
The assailant, motivated by a fatwa issued against Rushdie decades earlier, was found guilty of multiple counts including providing material support to a terrorist organization. The fatwa, which called for Rushdie's death over his novel "The Satanic Verses," has led to violence over the years, including killings of translators and publishers. An Iranian foundation has also offered a bounty of over $3 million for Rushdie's death.
