In-Depth: Fort Hood Terrorist ‘Left Free’ to Kill
Sweating nervously from his bald head as he began addressing a room full of uniformed classmates, the American soldier gathered enough composure to deliver an extraordinary presentation.
The US was waging a “war on Islam”, Nidal Hasan explained to fellow graduate students at a military medical college in Maryland, before mounting a defense of Osama bin Laden and endorsing suicide bombers.
As his disgusted audience “erupted”, he was halted by their lecturer after just two minutes. Yet two years later Hasan, still a member of the Army he had denounced, would violently conclude his demonstration.
Wielding a high-powered pistol and crying “Allahu Akbar!”, he shot dead 13 people and wounded 32 others at the Fort Hood military base in Killeen, Texas, on 5 November 2009.
Hasan, who proudly admits to carrying out the attack, is due to stand trial from Tuesday for 13 counts of murder and 32 of …
