Salman Rushdie was stabbed by a terrorist. |
The terrorist is being held without bond. |
An air ambulance flew Rushdie to a hospital in nearby Erie, Pennsylvania. The novelist — having sustained damage to numerous organs, including to his liver and to one of his eyes — underwent surgery and was placed on a ventilator. The following day on August 13, Aatish Taseer tweeted that Rushdie was moved off from the ventilator and was "talking and joking."
Salman Rushdie attacked in NY earlier today. Why was he not more properly protected, knowing that he was under a fatwa of death? I hope and pray that he survives this attack 33 years after Khomeini’s fatwa. #TableShaker pic.twitter.com/nzT8KnLbQB
