Americas 4 sources 4 countries 11m ago

The Pentagon has announced that the military execution of Nidal Hasan by firing squad will be livestreamed to the public. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the decision regarding the former US Army major, who was convicted of shooting dead 13 unarmed soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009.

During his military proceedings, Hasan called no witnesses and offered no testimony in his defense. This legal strategy raised concerns among his court-appointed lawyers that he was actively seeking execution.
