Trump Consents to Nidal Hassan Execution
U.S. President Donald Trump has approved the execution by firing squad of Nidal Hassan, who shot and killed 13 victims at Fort Hood military base in Texas in 2009. This marks the first military execution carried out since 1961. Hassan was sentenced to death by a military court in 2013, after being designated as a terrorist by the judiciary, for killing soldiers who were preparing to deploy to Iraq and for his links with Al-Qaeda leaders opposing the American occupation. This will be the first execution personally carried out by the U.S. military in over 60 years.
