President Trump has approved the execution of Nidal Hasan, the former U.S. Army major who killed 13 people in the 2009 Fort Hood attack, by firing squad. The decision follows the Pentagon's confirmation earlier today. The execution would be the first U.S. military execution since 1961.
President Donald Trump has decided to execute Nidal Malik Hasan by firing squad, according to a report by The Zioneer. Hasan, a former U.S. Army major and psychiatrist, was convicted of murdering 13 people and wounding 32 in the 2009 attack at Fort Hood, Texas. Earlier today, The Zioneer reported that the Pentagon had confirmed the approval of the firing-squad method, marking the first U.S. military execution since 1961. The case has been a landmark in the study of lone-wolf radicalization within the U.S. military. Hasan, who was paralyzed after being shot during his arrest, has been on military death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, since his 2013 conviction. No execution date has been announced.
