The Pentagon seeks Trump’s approval to execute Nidal Hasan for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13, potentially ending a 60-year military execution drought.
The Pentagon is seeking President Donald Trump’s approval to execute Nidal Hasan, convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 and injured 32, marking a potential first military execution since 1961.
Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, was sentenced to death in 2013 and has exhausted appeals.
The case, now at the presidential level under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, follows a court invalidating prior plea agreements in similar terrorism cases.
Hasan claimed the attack was a religious duty, though the Pentagon initially labeled it workplace violence.
He is one of four on military death row, and the White House has not yet responded to the request.
El Pentágono busca la aprobación de Trump para ejecutar a Nidal Hasan por el tiroteo de 2009 en Fort Hood que mató a 13 personas, lo que podría poner fin a una sequía de ejecuciones militares de 60 años.
