First Arab execution in US military in 65 years
U.S. President Donald Trump has approved the execution by firing squad of military doctor Nidal Malik Hasan, who in 2009 opened fire on soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas, killing 13 people and injuring 32 others. This will be the first military execution carried out by the U.S. Army since 1961, and the first firing squad execution since 1945. The sentence was issued in 2013, and American authorities confirmed that, upon review, Hasan is presumed to be of Palestinian descent; his parents were immigrants from the city of Beit Liqya. It is noted that Hasan carried out the shooting before leaving Iraq, where he used his weapon and caused the death and injury of several soldiers while on duty, after engaging with terrorist leaders online.
