Hadi Matar

Hadi Matar 是一名美国被判刑的攻击者，他于2022年8月12日在纽约肖托夸学院试图谋杀作家 Salman Rushdie。此次袭击导致 Rushdie 一只眼睛失明，手部神经永久性损伤，其动机是 Matar 遵从1989年针对该作家的教令，并支持真主党武装组织。2026年7月，联邦陪审团裁定他犯有恐怖主义罪，包括向真主党提供物质支持以及从事跨越国界的恐怖主义行为。他目前因谋杀未遂正在服25年州刑期，并可能面临联邦层面的终身监禁。[编辑]

Hadi Matar 出生于加利福尼亚州，父母来自黎巴嫩南部的 Yaroun 村——一个以强烈支持真主党和伊朗政府而闻名的什叶派与基督教混居村庄。他的父亲在袭击发生前数年已返回 Yaroun，而母亲最终将全家从加州迁至新泽西州的 Fairview。据其母亲称，Matar 在2018年去黎巴嫩探望父亲后发生了显著变化，变得愈发孤僻，并深度专注于伊斯兰信仰。他从加州搬到新泽西后难以融入，辩护律师后来指出，与父亲关系不佳及适应困难是其背景因素。在2022年袭击前，他没有犯罪记录。[编辑]

Matar 没有职业或工作经历。他的恶名完全源于2022年8月12日在肖托夸学院对 Salman Rushdie 的袭击。他使用名为“Hassan Mughniyah”的假身份证进入现场，冲上舞台，多次刺中 Rushdie 的面部和颈部。主持人 Henry Reese 也在袭击中受伤。Matar 被旁观者制服并逮捕。2025年2月，州陪审团裁定他犯有二级谋杀未遂和攻击罪，他于2025年5月被判处25年监禁。2026年7月29日，联邦陪审团裁定他犯有向真主党提供物质支持以及从事跨越国界的恐怖主义行为，这些罪名可能面临终身监禁。[编辑]

Matar 没有公众形象或粉丝群。媒体普遍将他描述为攻击者和恐怖分子。他的行为受到国际谴责，他没有标志性风格、美学或社交媒体存在。[编辑]

As the 79th most famous person in True Crime, Hadi Matar holds a grim spot on the iFANN Global Fame Rankings, having slipped one position from last cycle. This placement reflects his enduring notoriety as the perpetrator of a high-profile terrorist assault rather than any positive cultural contribution. The rankings track global attention across media coverage, search activity, and consumption signals worldwide, cementing his status within this specific industry niche.

Despite this statistical visibility, no genuine fandom exists for Hadi Matar. There is no organized fanbase, no official name for supporters, and no community dedicated to celebrating his life or actions. Unlike figures who cultivate loyal followings through artistry or performance, Matar is viewed exclusively through the lens of criminality and violence. No fan campaigns, birthday tributes, or charity drives have emerged in his name, nor has he ever engaged with an audience in a communal capacity. The only narratives surrounding him are those of legal proceedings and international condemnation. While the crime itself generated massive news cycles, it did not spark a cult of personality or legendary following. Instead, the public discourse remains fixed on the victims, the judicial outcome, and the broader implications for free speech and security. Any attempt to frame him as a figure of admiration ignores the reality that he is a convicted felon serving a 25-year state sentence alongside potential federal charges. His legacy is defined by the act of stabbing Salman Rushdie and the subsequent trial, not by any shared cultural mythology or fan rituals. In the absence of a documented fanbase, the concept of a "legend" here applies only to the infamy of the event, not to any heroic or iconic status bestowed by admirers.[编辑]

Hadi Matar operated under a fake identity bearing the name "Hassan Mughniyah," a direct reference to Imad Mughniyah, a senior Hezbollah commander killed in 2008. The attack took place at the Chautauqua Institution in New York, where author Salman Rushdie was preparing to speak about protecting writers and artists from threats. In a private note discovered during the investigation, Matar wrote: "We need to kill him ASAP." Iranian conservative media immediately celebrated the assault, with headlines describing Rushdie as "Satan on the way to Hell." Notably, Matar had no prior criminal record before the incident.

The moment of the attack remains a defining historical event rather than a legend of heroism. On August 12, 2022, Matar stabbed Rushdie multiple times with a six-inch grey metal folding knife in front of a horrified crowd of approximately 1,400 attendees. The severity of the injuries, which left Rushdie blind in one eye and caused permanent nerve damage in his hand, shocked the global community. The reaction was not adulation but widespread outrage and increased security concerns for authors facing similar threats. This event stands as a verified historical fact of a failed assassination attempt, followed by a landmark federal terrorism trial in July 2026 where a jury convicted Matar on all counts.[编辑]

Matar 的父母来自黎巴嫩的 Yaroun。他的父亲在袭击发生前数年已返回黎巴嫩。他有三个兄弟姐妹。他的母亲在新泽西州的 Fairview 抚养他长大。没有关于他个人家庭、配偶或子女的信息。[编辑]

Matar 与袭击受害者 Salman Rushdie、同样受伤的主持人 Henry Reese 以及他所支持的被指定为恐怖组织的真主党有关联。法律人士包括肖托夸县地区检察官 Jason Schmidt 和助理司法部长 John A. Eisenberg。[编辑]

没有公开记录的恋爱关系。Matar 从未结婚、订婚或卷入任何已知的关系。截至2026年，他被监禁且单身。[编辑]

iFANN currently estimates that Hadi Matar has no credible net worth. As a convicted felon serving a 25-year state sentence with a potential life federal sentence, he possesses no known assets, income streams, or employment history. He is indigent and was represented by court-appointed attorneys throughout his legal proceedings. Research by the iFANN Editorial Team confirms that there are no financial resources attributable to him, resulting in an Unknown total valuation.[编辑]
