Times Of Israel: Man who stabbed author Salman Rushdie found guilty of attempted murder
Hadi Matar, 27, was convicted of attempted murder for stabbing author Salman Rushdie multiple times during a lecture in August 2022, leaving Rushdie blind in one eye. Matar was also found guilty of assault for injuring another man on stage. Sentencing is set for April 23.
