NewzThe Pentagon has announced that the U.S. military plans to execute former U.S. Army officer Nidal Malik Hasan by firing squad and livestream the event. Hasan was convicted of shooting and killing 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009.
Public executions have become exceedingly rare worldwide, with Iran and Taliban-run Afghanistan among the few nations known to conduct them in recent years. According to experts, no other country is currently known to televise or livestream a legal execution.
This upcoming execution by firing squad and its accompanying broadcast represent an unprecedented event for the United States military and the global community.
