Federal Trial Begins for Salman Rushdie Attacker, Charged with Terrorism
Hadi Matar is on trial in a federal case in Buffalo, New York, charged with transnational terrorism for the 2022 stabbing of author Salman Rushdie. Prosecutors allege Matar acted to fulfill a decades-old fatwa issued by Iran's late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, while the defense urges jurors to question Matar's intent.
