Donald Trump has given the green light for a firing squad to execute former US Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan, who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009. Hasan was convicted of killing 12 active-duty soldiers and a retired serviceman in the shooting, which also left 32 people wounded. The Pentagon said the decision followed a recommendation from Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, with the Army now responsible for setting the time and place of the execution. If carried out, it would be the first US military execution since 1961, although Hasan could still challenge the death sentence in federal court. #usa #news #military #trump #nidalhasan
