US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has confirmed that the execution by firing squad of Nidal Malik Hassan, convicted of killing 13 people at a military base in Texas, scheduled for December 3, will be broadcast live.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's announcement that he intends to broadcast live the execution of Nidal Hasan, convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood massacre, caught Pentagon officials by surprise, who did not expect the publicity to mean a television broadcast. The idea sparked backlash among military personnel, veterans and members of both parties. President Trump initially supported the idea, but later said the decision was made without him, although he understands the reasons. Vice President Vance doubted the broadcast, but said that even if it took place, he did not intend to watch it. It is not yet clear how the broadcast will be organized and which TV channels will agree to show it. Hassan, who was wounded during detention and remained paralyzed, should be shot as a disabled person.
