Man who stabbed Rushdie found guilty of terrorism
Hadi Matar was found guilty of federal terrorism charges for the 2022 stabbing of author Salman Rushdie, which prosecutors linked to death threats stemming from Rushdie's novel 'The Satanic Verses.' Matar, already serving a 25-year sentence for attempted murder, now faces a potential life sentence when sentenced on November 3. The jury in Buffalo, New York, deliberated for only two hours before reaching a unanimous verdict on all counts, including providing material support to Hezbollah.
