A U.S. jury convicts Hadi Matar on federal terrorism-related charges connected to the 2022 stabbing of author Salman Rushdie, according to reports from multiple outlets. The conviction comes after the jury finds him guilty on all counts presented in the federal case, which includes engaging in an act of transnational terrorism. The accounts describe the verdict as resolving the U.S. prosecution’s allegations that the attack was tied to terrorism under federal law. While the sources provide limited details on specific statutory charges or the evidence cited in court, they agree on the outcome: Matar is found guilty and the jury’s decision covers the full set of charges brought by federal prosecutors. The reports also frame the case as proceeding through the federal jury process in the United States, culminating in the conviction. A separate disposition of any remaining procedural steps—such as sentencing—is not detailed in the provided summaries. Overall, the shared point across the coverage is the jury’s unanimous finding that Matar committed the charged conduct under federal terrorism statutes.
