Breaking: Author Salman Rushdie has been attacked on stage at an event in upstate New York.
Rushdie's book"The Satanic Verses" has been banned in Iran since 1988, as many Muslims consider it to be blasphemous. A year later, Iran's late leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa, or edict, calling for Rushdie's death.
Iran's government has long since distanced itself from Khomeini's decree, but anti-Rushdie sentiment lingered. In 2012, a semi-official Iranian religious foundation raised the bounty for Rushdie from $2.8 million to $3.3 million. Rushdie dismissed that threat at the time, saying there was"no evidence" of people being interested in the reward. That year, Rushdie published a memoir,"Joseph Anton," about his experience living under the fatwa.This is a developing story and will be updated.© 2022 CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved.
