U.S. Army Major Nidal Hasan has been accused of premeditated mass murder of his 13 comrades under military law. He faces a court martial. Hasan has the right to remain silent and does not have to take the stand in his own defence.

It is a good thing Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan survived his killing spree at Fort Hood. Maybe at his trial we'll get some answers, and under oath. What were his motivations? What did his colleagues, the Army and DHS know about him? And when did they know it?

In the first significant comment, the FBI has thrown cold water on media speculators who suggested he was part of a larger terror plot. The FBI said "there is no information to indicate that Hasan was part of a terror plot against the U.S.."

The alleged gunman of the Fort Hood military base shooting had many sides reports are now showing. He was a dedicated counselor who fought his own demons, a soldier, a religious man and now we suspect a mass murderer.

On a report on CNN Major Nidal Malik Hasan told a store owner that he was a native of Jordan. The name now alleged to be the gunman in the Fort Hood shooting on Thursday also expressed fears about his deployment.

A U.S. Army psychiatrist, Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan is in custody after 12 were shot and 31 wounded at the base at Fort Hood, in Texas. Two Facebook pages are now asking how he should be punished. But did Hasan post a blog calling suicide bombings heroic?
