PENTAGON: TRUMP APPROVES FIRING-SQUAD EXECUTION FOR FORT HOOD TERRORIST: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has recommended, and President Donald Trump has approved, "death by U.S. Army firing squad for convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan," a former Army major and psychiatrist, the Pentagon announced Monday. Hasan was sentenced to death for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 people and wounded 32 others. Witnesses testified at his trial that he shouted "Allahu Akbar" before opening fire. The Secretary of the Army will set the time and place of the execution, and Army policy generally requires it to occur between 60 and 150 days after presidential approval. If carried out, it would be the first U.S. military execution since 1961.
