Hadi Matar Faces Federal Terrorism Charges for Salman Rushdie Attack, Supporting Hezbollah
Jul 24, 2024, 04:45 PM
Hadi Matar, the man who severely injured author Salman Rushdie in a frenzied knife attack in western New York, now faces federal terrorism charges. An unsealed indictment in the US District Court in Buffalo charges Matar with providing material support to Hezbollah, a militant group based in Lebanon and backed by Iran. The attack on Rushdie occurred during a speaking event in 2022. The new charges highlight Matar's alleged support for the IRGCterrorists-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah.
