Matar said in the interview that he considers Ayatollah Khomeini, the leader of Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution, to be a “great person”. But he would not say whether he had followed his fatwa against Rushdie. Matar added that he had no contacts with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Matar, who lives in Fairview, New Jersey, also told the Post that he took a bus to Buffalo, New York the day before Rushdie was attacked and then took a ride to Chautauqua, about 40 miles away. There he bought a ticket at the education center and slept on the lawn the night before Rushdie’s performance on the premises.
