Man, 24, who stabbed Salman Rushdie had fake driver’s license in name of HEZBOLLAH commander and praised Iran’s Revolutionary Guard on social media: Author is on ventilator, will likely lose an eye, his arm nerves are severed and his liver damaged

  • Salman Rushdie, 75, was stabbed up to 15 times, including in the neck and in the abdomen
  • Rushdie was attacked by Hadi Matar, 24, who rushed the stage before ‘punching and stabbing’ the author multiple times in front of horrified witnesses at a literary fair in Chautauqua, New York, near Buffalo 
  • Law enforcement sources have said that Matar has sympathies to the Iranian regime and to the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah
  • A fake driver’s license that was found on Matar when he was arrested contained the names of two Hezbollah commanders 
  • Rushdie’s agent Andrew Wylie provided an update on his condition shortly before 7 p.m. on Friday
  • Wylie said ‘the news is not good’ and that, ‘Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged’

The man accused of stabbing author Salman Rushdie held a fake driver’s license bearing the surname of an infamous Hezbollah commander, it has been claimed.  

That driver’s license, which was was found on 24-year-old Hadi Mater bore the name Hassan Mughniyah. Both the first and second names are linked to infamous terrorist organization Hezbollah. The group’s current leader is named Hassan Nasrallah. While one of the group’s most notorious figures was Imad Mughniyeh, who was killed in a CIA-linked assassination in Syria in 2008.
