Hadi Matar was convicted on all three federal terrorism counts for the 2022 stabbing of Salman Rushdie.
The verdict comes one week after Rushdie gave his testimony, recounting the brutal attack that almost took his life and left him blind in his right eye.
U.S.
Attorney Michael Giacomo called Rushdie's testimony powerful.
Prosecutors argued Mattar attacked Rushdie to carry out a 1989 fatwa issued by Ayatollah Roa Khomeini that called for the author's death.
Mattar is already serving 25 years in state prison for attempted murder and now faces up to life in federal prison.
