NEW YORK — -- Law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation into Salman Rushdie's attack told ABC News that"a preliminary investigation into the suspected perpetrator's probable social media presence indicates a likely adherence or sympathy towards Shi'a extremism and sympathies to the Iranian regime/Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps."
But, Rushdie's agent told ABC News on Friday that he will likely lose an eye, the nerves in his arm were severed and his liver was stabbed and damaged. Matar was processed at SP Jamestown and transported to Chautauqua County Jail and will be arraigned on Aug.13. Detectives are now calling the attack an"apparent assassination attempt" by"an individual with strong indicators of ideological support for the Iranian regime." They said the incident occurred during a period of"plot disruptions" apparently connected to the current state of U.S.-Iran tensions.
