American military will live-stream the execution of an extremist who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas in 2009

WASHINGTON, United States (AFP)—The execution by firing squad of convicted military base shooter Nidal Hasan will be livestreamed, a Pentagon official said Thursday, after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said it would be carried out in "public." Hasan, a US Army psychiatrist, shot dead 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009. His execution will be the first by the US military since 1961, and the first it has carried out by firing squad since World War II. "It will be livestreamed. Details will follow," the Pentagon official told AFP on condition of anonymity. Hegseth had said in a video posted on X by official Pentagon accounts earlier Thursday that Hasan is "going to get a firing squad of soldiers, as it should be, and we'll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it's public." "People need to understand that...there's serious consequence for these types of things," Hegseth told right-wing influencer Jack Posobiec while aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. Hegseth noted that it would be the military's first firing squad execution since the Second World War -- a reference to the case of Eddie Slovik, who was put to death for desertion in 1945. "I kind of like the mentality we had in World War II, which was win, which was understand when the enemy attacks you, you need to stand your ground," Hegseth said. In a separate clip, Posobiec asked the Pentagon chief if Hasan had made any final request. "Don't care. We'll see him on December 3," Hegseth said -- the day Hasan is slated to die. The last US military execution was carried out in 1961, when John Bennett was hanged for rape and attempted murder. - Afghanistan and Iran - According to rights group Amnesty International, at least 17 public executions are known to have been carried out in 2025 -- six in Afghanistan and 11 in Iran. The Death Penalty Information Center says that 135 soldiers have been executed by the US military since 1916. The Pentagon announced earlier this week that US President Donald Trump had approved Hasan's execution for carrying out the Al-Qaeda inspired attack. Twelve of those he killed and 30 of the wounded were soldiers. Hasan was shot and partially paralyzed by a civilian police officer who responded to the attack. He was sentenced to death by a military jury in 2013. Hasan chose to conduct his own defense during the trial but called no witnesses and gave no testimony, and made no attempt to deny the charges. Court-appointed defense attorneys expressed concern that he was seeking execution. The court that convicted Hasan was told he was opposed to the US military's occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, and that he had spoken online with an alleged Al-Qaeda figure, radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen subsequently killed in a US drone strike in Yemen. While mass shootings in the United States are common, they are relatively rare at military facilities. In 2025, a soldier opened fire at a US military base in the state of Georgia, wounding five fellow troops before he was tackled and apprehended. In 2019, a US sailor fatally shot two people and wounded a third at a base in Hawaii, while a Saudi military student shot dead three people at a military facility in Florida the same year. And a Kuwaiti-born US citizen attacked two military installations in Tennessee in 2015, killing four Marines and a sailor. The FBI concluded the violence was inspired by a "foreign terrorist group."

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth wants convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan’s execution by firing squad to be open to the public. Speaking to Jack Posobiec for Real America’s Voice on the USS Abraham Lincoln Thursday, Hegseth was asked about the decision to execute Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist who shot and killed 12 soldiers and one civilian in 2009 on the base before being shot, wounded, and arrested. President Trump approved Hasan’s death by firing squad to take place December 3, the first such execution in over 60 years. “Of course we’re going to do it at Fort Hood. We’re going to do it on a Thursday, we’re going to do it at one o’clock, which is when he did it, and it’s going to be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad,” Hegseth said. “We know what it is, it was a radical Islamist attack in uniform inside the ranks, and so he’s going to get a firing squad of soldiers, as it should be, and we’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public, because people need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things.”What Hegseth means by “public” is unclear. Will it be broadcast live? Will spectators from outside of the military be allowed onto the Texas base to see it? We’ll probably learn more in the coming days, but current Army regulations allow for at least two media outlets to be present for the execution. No legal execution has ever been broadcast live in the U.S., and the country’s last public execution was in 1936. Since he was convicted of a military crime, Hasan’s execution required approval from Hegseth and then Trump, which was granted. Trump’s Department of Justice doesn’t want this to be the last firing squad execution. In April, the DOJ announced it was bringing back federal firing squads for death penalty sentences. President Biden had paused all executions and commuted the death sentences of 37 prisoners to life without parole as he was leaving the White House.

The U.S. military has executed at least 135 of its own -- a rogues' gallery of notorious mutineers, deserters, rapists and killers -- over the past 250 years. In a few weeks, former Army psychiatrist and mass shooter Nidal Malik Hasan's name is likely to be added to that list.

WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — United States (US) President Donald Trump has approved the execution by firing squad of Nidal Hasan, a US Army psychiatrist who shot dead 13 people at a military base in 2009, the Pentagon said Monday. Hasan's execution for the attack at Fort Hood in Texas -- which also wounded more than two dozen people -- will be the first carried out by the US military since 1961. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth "has recommended -- and President Donald J Trump has approved -- death by US Army firing squad for convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a post on X. "The Secretary of the Army will set the time and place of the execution. Judgment day for Hasan has finally come," Parnell wrote. Hasan was sentenced to death by a military jury in 2013 for carrying out the Al-Qaeda inspired mass shooting at Fort Hood. He chose to conduct his own defence during the trial but called no witnesses, gave no testimony, and made no attempt to deny the charges. Court-appointed defence attorneys expressed concern that he was seeking execution. Hasan, US-born Muslim of Palestinian descent, opened fire on November 5, 2009, at a medical facility in the sprawling Fort Hood base, which served as a staging point for soldiers to deploy to combat zones. Twelve of the dead and 30 of the wounded were soldiers. Hasan was shot by a civilian police officer who responded to the attack and is partially paralysed. The court that convicted Hasan was told that he was opposed to the US military's occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, and that he had spoken online with an alleged Al-Qaeda figure, radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen subsequently killed in a US drone strike in Yemen.
