BREAKING: Salman Rushdie Stabbed In The Neck While on Stage in New York

This may turn out to be the spark that lights the middle east fuse, Iran may accuse someone else of the attack and start a war. Be on the lookout for Iran and Saudi Arabia engaging in proxy attacks or direct attacks.

VIA The Telegraph:
Author Salman Rushdie has been taken to hospital after being attacked while on stage at an event in New York.

Indian-born British writer Rushdie, whose earlier writing led to death threats and a fatwa from the Iranian regime, was pictured lying on the ground of Chautauqua Institution's stage near the city of Buffalo in western New York.

An Associated Press reporter witnessed a man storm the stage at the Chautauqua Institution and begin stabbing Rushdie as he was being introduced.

The 75-year-old Satanic Verses author was taken or fell to the floor. A photograph from the scene shows a community safety officer and others with their hands over Rushdie’s chest and holding his legs up in the air. He was pictured being taken away in a stretcher, with an IVF drip in his arm and blood covering his torso, hands and face.

The attacker is said to have been taken in custody.
