The person interviewing Mr.  Rushdie also a minor head injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mr.  Rushdie spent about 10 years under police protection, living in hiding after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the Supreme Leader of Iran after the 1979 Iranian Revolution, called for his execution in 1989 because his novel \u201cThe Satanic Verses\u201d was considered offensive to Islam.  The book was banned in India, where he was born, and he was barred from the country for more than a decade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere was just one attacker,\u201d said Elisabeth Healey, 75, who was in the audience.  \u201cHe was dressed in black.  He had a loose black garment on.  Her ran with lightning speed over to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Multiple witnesses said the attacker was able to reach Mr.  Rushdie easily, running onstage and approaching him from behind. <\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere was a huge security lapse,\u201d said John Bulette, 85, who witnessed the attack.  \u201cThat somebody could get that close without any intervention was frightening.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">A motivation for the attack has not been established.  \u201cThe Satanic Verses\u201d was considered blasphemous by some Muslims because it fictionalized part of the life of the Prophet Muhammad.  Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa in 1989 ordering Muslims to kill Mr.  Rushdie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The Iranian government publicly backed the fatwa for 10 years, until at least 1998, when Iran&#8217;s president, Mohammad Khatami, said Iran no longer supported the killing.  But the fatwa remains in place, reportedly with a bounty attached from a semi-official Iranian religious foundation of some $3.3 million as of 2012.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">That year  Rushdie published a memoir, \u201cJoseph Anton,\u201d about the fatwa.  The title came from the pseudonym he used while in hiding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"css-1655kpx\" type=\"button\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Show more<\/button><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aug. 12, 2022, 11:34 am ET Aug. 12, 2022, 11:34 am ET Salman Rushdiecredit&#8230;Grant Pollard\/Invision, via Associated Press Salman Rushdie, the author, was attacked and stabbed in the neck on Friday while onstage in Chautauqua, near Erie in western New York, the state police said.
