The man accused of attacking Salman Rushdie is facing a potential delay to his trial due to the author’s plans to publish a book about the attempt on his life.
Hadi Matar, the man charged with repeatedly stabbing Mr Rushdie on stage in New York in 2022, is entitled to the manuscript and related material from the book as part of his trial preparation, Chautauqua County Judge David Foley ruled in a pretrial conference.
