The Pentagon officially announced that U.S. President Donald Trump has approved the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, the former U.S. Army psychiatrist. This step comes after many years of legal deliberations regarding the attack Hasan launched on a military base in 2009. Defense Department spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth made a direct recommendation to the President to proceed with the maximum penalty. Trump approved the execution to be carried out by firing squad by a specialized U.S. Army execution team, a procedure not seen by the military establishment in decades. The facts of the case date back to November 5, 2009, when Nidal Hasan opened fire inside the 'Fort Hood' military base in Texas. The attacker used a semi-automatic pistol in the attack, which resulted in the deaths of 13 people and injuries of varying severity to 30 others. This decision is a historic turning point in U.S. military justice, as Hasan's execution will be the first carried out by the army since 1961. Parnell clarified via the X platform that 'judgment day' has finally arrived for the convict who caused a major national tragedy within a military facility. |
