A federal jury found 28-year-old Hadi Matar guilty on all three terrorism-related counts Wednesday stemming from the 2022 stabbing of author Salman Rushdie at Chautauqua Institution. Matar, who is already serving a 25-year state sentence for attempted murder, now faces up to life in federal prison.

The verdict came after roughly three hours of deliberations. Jurors convicted Matar on three federal counts: attempting to provide material support to Hezbollah, providing material support to terrorists and engaging in an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries.
