Fort Hood terrorist charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder
Nidal Hasan murdered 13 people in America's largest Army base at Fort Hood, Texas.
Army psychiatrist Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 people last week in America’s largest Army base in Fort Hood, was yesterday charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder.
39-year-old Hasan killed 13 of his comrades on 5th November when he opened fire at a soldier processing center at the Army base in Killeen, Texas. He was charged in the military’s legal system, making him eligible for the death penalty, Fox News reports.
Hasan will be tried in the military’s court-martial system. Prosecutors will likely seek the death penalty, the maximum sentence he faces. The minimum is life in prison.
Executions of military defendants are very rare.
