'Satanic Verses' Author Salman Rushdie Attacked at Event in Western New York

Salman Rushdie, the author whose writing led to death threats from Iran in the 1980s, was attacked and apparently stabbed in the neck Friday by a man who rushed the stage as he was about to give a lecture in western New York.

You're too young to know about Salman Rushdie. The Iranian government put a bounty on him for a book he wrote back in 1988. It was big news then.
