Remember when Barack Obama said the murder of 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009 by Islamic terrorist Nidal Hasan was merely “workplace violence“?

Well, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth recommended the jihadist killer be executed by the US Army firing squad – and President Trump approved.

President Trump has ordered Fort Hood Jihadist Nidal Malik Hasan to be executed by firing squad.

In November 2009, Hasan, a military psychiatrist, opened fire on unarmed soldiers at Fort Hood military base in Texas.

Hasan killed 13 people and wounded 32 more while shouting “Allahu Akbar!”

Hasan has been on death row at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas since 2013.

This will be the first military execution since 1961.

Per Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell:

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has recommended — and President Donald J. Trump has approved — death by U.S. Army firing squad for convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan, the jihadist who opened fire on unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009. He killed 13 people and wounded 32 others while shouting “Allahu Akbar” during the attack.

The Secretary of the Army will set the time and place of the execution. Judgement day for Hasan has finally come.
