Input: OSLO, Norway — Norwegian police have formally accused several foreign nationals over a 1993 attack on the Norwegian publisher of “The Satanic Verses,” thus preventing the statute of limitations from closing the case. 
  
 The National Criminal Investigation Service said Tuesday “foreign nationals who are not in Norway” were suspected of “attempted murder” in the attack on William Nygaard. 
  
 But the agency did not specify their number, identity or nationality.

 William Nygaard was seriously wounded when he was shot three times in the back near his home in Oslo on October 11 1993. 
  
 No one was arrested for the attack, but police believe it was linked to the 1989 publication of the Norwegian version of Salman Rushdie’s “The Satanic Verses” by a publishing house that Nygaard ran. 
  
 This latest move by the police prevents the usual 25-year statute of limitations closing the case. It would have taken effect on October 11. 
  
 “I am relieved and pleased with the development in this case, not least that the authorities and the police say the attack appears to have targeted freedom of expression,” 75-year-old Nygaard said. 
  
 The case led to diplomatic tensions between Norway and Iran in the 1990s. 
  
 After the 1988 publication of the “Satanic Verses,” deemed blasphemous by some in the Muslim world, Iran’s former supreme leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a “fatwa” calling for the death of Salman Rushdie and his editors. ||||| OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian police have filed accusations against several suspects in the 1993 shooting of author Salman Rushdie’s Norwegian publisher, the National Criminal Investigation Service said on Tuesday. 
  
 Police said the move was purely procedural, to keep the case active before a statute of limitations ban comes into force on the shooting’s 25th anniversary on Oct. 11. 
  
 Iran’s then Supreme Leader, the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa, or religious edict, in 1989 calling on Muslims to kill Rushdie and others associated with his book “The Satanic Verses” for its alleged blasphemy. 
  
 Publisher William Nygaard was severely wounded in the subsequent attack outside his home in Oslo. 
  
 Police said on Tuesday the suspects were foreign citizens who lived abroad but did not name them. “We will do everything that’s realistically possible to solve this case,” police said in a statement. 
  
 Nygaard was not immediately available for comment. 
  
 Under Norwegian law, people facing accusations have the right to a lawyer. Formal charges, if they come, are filed at a later stage. 
  
 Khomeini’s successor as Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said in 2005 that the fatwa was still valid. ||||| OSLO — William Nygaard, publisher of the Norwegian edition of Salman Rushdie’s novel “The Satanic Verses,” was shot three times and left for dead outside his home in a quiet suburb of Oslo on the morning of Oct. 11, 1993. 
  
 Twenty-five years later, just two days before a deadline that would have foreclosed prosecution, the Norwegian police have at last filed charges in the shooting of Mr. Nygaard, who recovered from his wounds. And the authorities stated what many people had always taken for granted: that the attack had to do with Mr. Rushdie’s book, which infuriated Muslims around the world — a theory that the police played down a generation ago. 
  
 “We have no reason to believe there is any other motive for the attempted killing than the publication of ‘The Satanic Verses,’ ” said Ida Dahl Nilssen, a spokeswoman for Norway’s National Criminal Investigation Service. The shooting was about more than an attack on one man, she said, it was a violent attempt to shut down free speech. 
  
 But the charges, announced on Tuesday, remain steeped in uncertainty, leaving it unclear how close the authorities really are to holding anyone responsible for one of Norway’s most notorious unsolved crimes. Officials have refused to say publicly what evidence they have or how many people have been charged, or to disclose the suspects’ names, nationalities or current locations. |||||
Output:
Police in Norway just made a move to keep alive the investigation into a 25-year-old shooting that captured the world's attention, reports Reuters. Back in 1993, the man who published Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses in Norway was shot three times outside his home. William Nygaard survived, but no arrests were ever made. This week—two days before a deadline that would have forced police to close the case—authorities finally filed charges, reports the New York Times. However, they're releasing few details, not specifying how many people are charged, their names, or what, if any, evidence exists. About the only thing authorities will say is that they think the shooting is indeed related to the controversy over Rushdie's book and that the suspects are "foreign nationals who are not in Norway," per the AFP. "This is good news, and one can hope that this 25-year-old case will now finally advance," Rushdie said in a statement, though he criticized the withholding of names and nationalities of the suspects. Nygaard, now 75, also praised the development and said he has no regrets about his decision to publish. As for his unexpected survival despite being shot three times: "I used to be a very good Norwegian ski jumper," he said. Rushdie's book first came out in 1988, and Iran's supreme leader at the time considered it so blasphemous to Islam that he issued a fatwa on Rushdie that forced the author into hiding and remains in effect to this day. As recently as 2016, groups in Iran raised $600,000 to beef up a bounty already estimated to be $4 million.
