In this regard, New York authorities charged Hadi Matar, the alleged perpetrator of the stabbing, this Saturday with attempted murder and assault with a weapon, and he remains in custody, without bail. Matar pleaded innocent hours earlier, but one of his lawyers pleaded guilty on his behalf during a formal hearing in a western New York court.
The prosecution assured the judge that Matar’s attack was premeditated, as well as that he had traveled by bus to the educational institution where Rushdie was to deliver the conference: “We have been in contact with our colleagues in New Jersey, where the attacker is from. to share information and help us better understand the planning and preparation that preceded the attack so that we and the various authorities involved can determine what other charges, if any, should be brought forward.”
