US Sanctions Group That Put Bounty on Salman Rushdie's Life

The United States is imposing financial penalties on an Iranian-based organization that raised money to target British-American author Salman Rushdie, who was violently attacked in August at a literary event.
The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned the 15 Khordad Foundation, which issued a multimillion-dollar bounty for the killing of Rushdie.
He wrote the novel “The Satanic Verses,” which some Muslims consider blasphemous. The book was published in 1988
