US To Publicly Execute Nidal Hassan By Firing Squad

Firing squad execution of ex-Army Major Nidal Hassan, convicted of killing 13 and wounding over 30 in the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting in the US, is set to be carried out publicly under new military directives, according to reports emerging from the United States.

Nidal Hassan, a former US Army psychiatrist, opened fire at the Fort Hood military base in Texas on November 5, 2009, in what was described as one of the deadliest mass shootings on a US military installation. He was sentenced to death by a military court in 2013 after being found guilty on 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder.

Reports indicate that US military authorities have approved execution by firing squad, a method rarely used in modern times but permitted under military law for certain cases. Officials say the execution will be conducted in accordance with strict military protocols, with limited public access but official confirmation expected afterward.

The Fort Hood shooting shocked America and led to major reforms in military security and mental health screening. Hassan, who claimed he carried out the attack in the name of jihad, has remained on death row at Fort Leavenworth for over a decade while appeals and reviews were exhausted through the military justice system.

Victims’ families have welcomed the move, saying justice delayed has been painful. The 2009 attack killed 13 people, including 12 soldiers and one civilian, and left more than 30 others wounded. Many survivors continue to live with physical and psychological trauma from the shooting.

Legal analysts note that executions by firing squad remain controversial in the US, but military law allows it as an option. The case of Nidal Hassan remains one of the most high-profile terrorism-related cases prosecuted by the US military, sparking debate over extremism within the armed forces and the handling of death penalty cases.
