American leader Joe Biden said that he was shocked by the attack on the writer Salman Rushdi in New York. This is stated in the official statement of the US President.
“The first lady and I were shocked and saddened by the news of the brutal attack on Salman Rushdi,” the president said.
Biden also emphasized that he was praying for the health of the writer, and expressed gratitude to everyone who helped Rushdi after the attack.
In conclusion, the president noted the courage of the writer and said that Rushdi defends the truth and resistance with his work.
Recall that the author of “Satanic verses” attacked on August 12 at the institute stage before his performance in New York. Rushdi was wounded with a knife in the neck and stomach. The writer’s agent said he is on the Ivl apparatus.
Rushdi has damaged the liver, besides, he cannot speak and, most likely, will be left without one eye.
