Al-Qaeda Issues Warning to US
Al-Qaeda issued a direct threat to the United States regarding the possible execution of Nidal Hasan, which is scheduled to take place on December 3rd at Fort Hood military base in Texas. This would be the first execution of an American soldier in 65 years and the first firing squad execution in the United States since World War II. The organization considered this execution a retaliatory threat, citing earlier statements by its late leader Osama bin Laden about the potential execution of accused individuals. In contrast, the UN Office of Human Rights warned that live broadcasts of executions violate the ban on torture and constitute public executions.
