Edinburgh author JK Rowling was the victim of a terrifying death threat after she shared a message of goodwill for Salman Rushdie who was savagely stabbed on a stage in New York earlier this week.
The Harry Potter author was warned “you’re next” on social media by a Twitter user based in Pakistan who had previously praised the attack on the 75-year-old Rushdie. They are also understood to have given their support for Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Rowling had said that she was horrified by the attempt to kill the author of ‘Satanic Verses’ on Twitter, the Mirror reports.
