Iran denies link with Rushdie's attacker, blames writer

Iran on Monday denied any link with the attacker of British author Salman Rushdie but blamed the writer himself for "insulting" Islam in the novel "The Satanic Verses". The foreign ministry spokesman Kanani on Monday stressed the position that Rushdie, not Iran, was to blame for the attack against him.
