Description

Hadi Matar, the man who stabbed Salman Rushdie in 2022, now faces a federal terrorism trial seeking to uncover the motive behind the attack. While already serving 25 years for attempted murder, the new case probes whether Matar acted on behalf of Iran and Hezbollah, citing his research on the historic fatwa calling for Rushdie’s death. Prosecutors allege he believed he was carrying out a religious order, while Matar claims he supported free speech but called Rushdie a hypocrite. Rushdie, 79, is set to testify again, recounting the life-threatening assault that left him blind in one eye. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Pacific Storms Swell Despite No Landfall | Savannah News

Hurricane Genevieve’s packing major punch—Category 3 with 120 mph winds—churning southwest of Mexico, but staying offshore. Still, dangerous swells, rip currents, and surf are headed for Mexico’s southwestern coast and Baja California by Monday. Genevieve may strengthen before fading later this week. Meanwhile, Fausto’s downgraded to a Category 1, heading toward Hawaii, where it could still deliver big surf—even as a tropical storm. Stay alert: offshore storms still bring coastal chaos.
