Trump approves death sentence for Muslim attacker
U.S. President Donald Trump has approved the execution by firing squad of military psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan, who was convicted of killing 13 people and injuring more than 30 others in a shooting attack at Fort Hood military base in Texas in 2009. Hasan, a Muslim American of Palestinian descent, opened fire inside a medical facility on the base using a pistol. He was shot by a police officer before being court-martialed and convicted, amid concerns that he intentionally did not defend himself in order to reach the death penalty. This marks the first execution of its kind within the U.S. military since 1961, and it follows a recommendation from the Secretary of Defense. The date and location of the execution will be announced later.
