The man accused of stabbing author Salman Rushdie held a fake driver's license bearing the surname of an infamous Hezbollah commander, it has been claimed.
That driver's license, which was was found on 24-year-old Hadi Mater bore the name Hassan Mughniyah. Both the first and second names are linked to infamous terrorist organization Hezbollah. The group's current leader is named Hassan Nasrallah. While one of the group's most notorious figures was Imad Mughniyeh, who was killed in a CIA-linked assassination in Syria in 2008.
NBC New York reports that Mater's social media accounts showed that he was sympathetic to Shia causes, including supporting the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Since the 1980s, the IRGC have been linked to Hezbollah, offering training and funding to the primarily Lebanon-based terrorist organization. Hezbollah's logo is based on the IRGC's.
According to the Council on Foreign Relation's profile on Hezbollah: 'The Iran-backed group is driven by its opposition to Israel and its resistance to Western influence in the Middle East.'
Witnesses to the stabbing say that the suspect wore black clothing and a black mask during the attack on The Satanic Verses author in Buffalo on Friday.
Rushdie is on a ventilator, cannot speak, and will likely lose an eye, after being stabbed up to 15 times on Friday by a suspect police have identified as a man from New Jersey 'with sympathies toward the Iranian government.'
Authorities descended on the Fairview, New Jersey home of 24-year-old Hadi Matar hours after he allegedly attacked Rushdie onstage at a literary event in upstate New York.
The driver's license also included a reference to an address in West New York, New Jersey, less than three miles from his listed address in Fairview, New Jersey.

Rushdie hasn’t had body guards in a long time. Foolish, but that’s his choice.

Bet a nickle he wouldn't be here except for Biden's policies and Mayorkas' implementation of those policies!!!!!
Chris Wray had all his agents busy on more important stuff
It’s a poorly written sentence; audience members tackled him.
Just keep repeating
“Diversity is our strength”
“Diversity is our strength”
“Diversity is our strength”
“Diversity is our strength”
“Diversity is our strength”
‘If a lie is only printed often enough, it becomes a quasi-truth, and if such a truth is repeated often enough, it becomes an article of belief, a dogma, and men will die for it.’
p
An audience member with concealed carry should have interrupted that assault. I find it amazing that he did not have personal security and that event organizers did not have their own layer of security.
Wrap him in a pig carcass and leave him in the desert buried up to the neck in sand. Set up a video device powered by a solar recharger=battery pack.
Then we will hasve the pro0paganda footage to show to the Iranians and Hezbollah repeatedly. Troll them like Trump.
Hopefully they will send more for the same treatment.
This was Chataqua conference, pretty much a leftist elite gathering as far as I ever knew, for decades.
I’m sure he’ll be released on his own recognizance

This has been bipartisan policy for 30 years.
Hey, if he voted Democrat that qualifies him for probation.
Not a solid by any stretch of the imagination
New York’s favorite things
apologies to Julie Andrews
Muslim assassins and polio in sewers
Darwin awardees who fetch keys and get skewered
Jewellers detained for defending their bling
These are a few of my favorite things
People who get pushed to their death from the trains
Firemen and cops who get shot in the brains
Infected people released from Sing Sing
These are a few of my favorite things
Teachers more stupid than their stupid students
Crack addicts more numerous than the millions of rodents
Epstein suicided rather than tell us of flings
These are a few of my favorite things
When the taxes bite
When the rent stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
Which reminds me...
When young Salman Rushdie was a kid he was asked "What want to be when you grow up?"
He replied "I think I'll take a stab at being a writer..."
