Award-winning author Sir Salman Rushdie was stabbed in the neck on Friday (local time) while on stage at an event in New York. His agent said the 75-year-old was on a ventilator and may lose an eye. 'After he was repeatedly stabbed in New York, Islamists on social media openly celebrated the attempted assassination – among them were Iranian government officials,' Ms Panahi said.
