Rushdie is dismissing the latest threat against his life as just talk. "This was essentially one priest in Iran looking for a headline," the author of "The Satanic Verses" said Tuesday, Sept. 18, as he spoke at a Barnes & Noble in New York. Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989 declared Rushdie's novel was blasphemous and called for his death. A semi-official Iranian religious foundation headed by Ayatollah Hassan Saneii has raised the bounty for Rushdie from $2.8 million to $3.3 million after recent protests against an anti-Islamic film that helped lead to riots around the Middle East.
