I didn't believe what I was seeing. My first reaction was this has to be some kind of demonstration or stunt or something. And then, no, it got it got so real, so fast. And then it was terrifying…"Rushdie was taken by helicopter to a hospital but police said his condition was not yet known.Police did not give a motive for the attack and it was not clear what kind of weapon was used.Rushdie, who was born into an Indian Muslim family, has faced death threats for his fourth novel, "The Satanic Verses," which some Muslims said contained blasphemous passages.

The Iranian government said in 1998 it would no longer back the fatwa, and Rushdie has lived relatively openly in recent years.Though Khomeini's successor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said as late as 2017 that the fatwa was still valid.RUSHDIE became an American citizen in 2016 and lives in New York City.
