  "account": "President Donald Trump did not participate in the decision on the decision to stream the execution of convicted Fort Hood attacker Nidal Malik Hasan. The Pentagon confirmed this on Thursday according to statements made by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The details of the planned broadcast have yet to be announced. Hasan was scheduled to be executed on December 3 at 1pm (local time) at the military base Fort Hood in the US state of Texas. President Donald Trump had approved the death sentence on October 2. Hegseth told the conservative broadcaster Real America's Voice that the execution would be public and that people could follow it. The Pentagon subsequently clarified that this refers to a live broadcast. Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, killed 13 people and injured 32 others in an attack at Fort Hood in 2009. He was sentenced to death in 2013. Should the execution take place, it would be the first execution of a US soldier by shooting squad since World War II and the first execution of a US death sentence by a military since 1961. \"This is an outrageous and incredibly serious situation,\" Mamdani said. He had called President Donald Trump to discuss the incident. \"I will urge him to end all deportation measures by the ICE agency in our city. I will not stand by while ICE officials terrorize people in our neighborhoods.\" The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the incident. Reports of problems with water supply, clogged toilets, and increased psychological stress among crew members due to various malfunctions have led to criticism. In some cases, crew members reportedly attempted to jump overboard. The US military denied the most serious accusations. The execution is planned for December 3 at Fort Hood in the state of Texas. Hasan, a former army psychiatrist, killed 13 people and injured 32 others at the base in 2009. He was sentenced to death in 2013 by a military court. The streaming of a public execution was first used as a deterrent during the American Civil War in the 19th century. The last military shooting by an execution squad in the US was in 1945. The last general public execution in the US was in 1936, when a man was hanged in front of thousands of spectators in Kentucky. It remains unclear whether Hegseth is planning a similarly public execution or merely the presence of selected witnesses and spectators, or a broadcast. The government of US President Donald Trump has not commented on the matter.",
