The Pentagon announced tonight (between Thursday and Friday) that the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, who murdered 13 people in a shooting spree at Fort Hood base in Texas in 2009, will be carried out by firing squad and broadcast live. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who led the move, said the event should be made public so that people understand there are serious consequences for such acts. The execution is expected to take place on December 3 at 1:00 PM at Fort Hood - the approximate time, day, and location of the murder. This will be the first execution carried out by the U.S. military itself since 1961. Hasan, a U.S.-born Muslim of Palestinian origin, carried out the attack on November 5, 2009, against soldiers waiting for medical checkups, while shouting "Allahu Akbar." He was sentenced to death in 2013. Hegseth said he likes the World War II approach - "a victory approach."
