Twelve of the dead were soldiers. Dozens were wounded. He was described as a lone wolf loyal to al-Qaeda, and said he wanted to stop troops deploying to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that he called illegal. He was shot during the attack and is partly paralysed. A court-martial sentenced him to death in 2013.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official, speaking to Agence France-Presse on condition of anonymity, said the execution \u201cwill be broadcast live,\u201d and that details would follow. In a video posted on Wednesday by an account linked to the Pentagon, war secretary Pete Hegseth said Hasan \u201cwill be shot by soldiers, as he deserves, and we will make sure the world is able to see it. It will be public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it goes ahead, it would be the first execution carried out by the US armed forces since 1961.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: AFP<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\/The Jerusalem Cross: Pete Hegseth\u2019s Tattoo and the Significance of Christian and Greek Symbols<\/p>\n<p><!--[googlesitekit-end-of-content]--><\/p>\n<footer class=\"article-tags entry-footer\">\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"category_container author-information\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<section id=\"authorpage\" class=\"authorpage\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/99ca06517608e7af44e9761bf7c358974ffbc4a43859fd8e5be6fc2f50d341af?s=164&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/99ca06517608e7af44e9761bf7c358974ffbc4a43859fd8e5be6fc2f50d341af?s=328&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-164 photo lazyload\" height=\"164\" width=\"164\" decoding=\"async\"\/>\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"author-content\">\n<h5>Bill Giannopoulos<\/h5>\n<h4>Junior Editor<\/h4>\n<p>Bill Giannopoulos is a Junior Editor at Greek City Times, covering Greek and international news, sport, and history.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/greekcitytimes.gr\" class=\"boxed-icon fill\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-link\"\/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/greekcitytimes.com\/2026\/10\/09\/nidal-hasan-fort-hood-execution-live-broadcast\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The execution of Nidal Hasan, the army psychiatrist who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, will be broadcast live, a US war department official said on Thursday.
