Trump Approves Firing Squad Execution For Jihadist Fort Hood Shooter

Trump approved the execution of Nidal Hasan, the convicted Fort Hood attacker, by firing squad. This marks the first time since 1961 that the United States Army will utilize this method. Hasan was responsible for the November 5, 2009, mass shooting that resulted in 13 deaths and numerous injuries. During the atrocity, Hasan shouted "allahu akbar". The decision follows the legal proceedings regarding the mass shooting event that occurred at the Fort Hood military installation.
