The official representative of Hezbollah said that the organization does not know anything about the attack on the writer Salman Rushdi in New York. According to the Daily Mail newspaper and a number of other media, the man who attacked the writer Salman Rushdi on August 12, carried fake driver’s license with him in the name of Hassan Mugnia. According to the Daily Mail, its own name can be a collective pseudonym, where Hassan is a reference to the name of the current secretary of the Lebanese Shiite organization Hzbollah Hassan Nasellla, and the surname of Mugnia was borrowed from the senior member and head of the Hezbollah special services, Imad Mugnia, who was killed in 2008 .
“We do not know anything about this incident, so we will not comment on,” said the anonymous interlocutor of the Reuters agency.
After yesterday’s attack on Salman Rushdi, during his performance in New York, the writer was connected to the Ivl apparatus. His literary agent Andrew Wiley specified that Rushdi could lose his eyes due to wounds.
