Beforehand, Wylie instructed The New York Occasions: “The information is just not good. Salman will doubtless lose one eye; the nerves in his arm have been severed; and his liver was stabbed and broken.”
Rushdie, whose magical realism novel “The Satanic Verses” prompted Iranian cleric Ayatollah Khomeini to challenge a fatwa calling for his assassination in 1989, was attacked Friday on the Chautauqua Establishment as he took the stage to ship a lecture.
The author’s accidents included three stab wounds to his neck and 4 to his abdomen, puncture wounds to his proper eye and chest, in addition to a laceration on his proper thigh, CNN reported Chautauqua County District Lawyer Jason Schmidt stated throughout the arraignment of Hadi Matar, the 24-year-old accused of stabbing Rushdie.
Matar pled not responsible to costs of tried homicide and assault with a weapon throughout his arraignment on Saturday.
