Man who stabbed Salman Rushdie found guilty of terrorism charges
Hadi Matar was convicted of federal terrorism charges for the 2022 attack on author Salman Rushdie. Prosecutors stated the assault was incited by death threats over Rushdie's novel "The Satanic Verses." Matar, already serving a state sentence, faces life imprisonment for his federal conviction. The jury deliberated for only two hours before reaching their guilty verdict on all counts.
