US President Donald Trump has authorized the firing squad execution of former US Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, convicted for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that claimed 13 lives and injured 32 others. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed the decision in an X post on Monday, stating that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had recommended the execution and Trump had approved it.
"Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has recommended — and President Donald J. Trump has approved — death by U.S. Army firing squad for convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan," Parnell stated. The Army Secretary will determine the execution's time and location, with no date announced yet. If executed, Hasan would be the first US military inmate to face such a penalty since 1961.
