The date has been determined. Malik Hasan will be shot in the USA

The execution date of former US Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 people and injured more than 30 people in an armed attack at the Fort Hood military base in Texas in 2009, has been set.

US Interim Undersecretary of Land Forces Adam R. Telle announced that Hasan will be executed by firing squad on December 3, 2026. It was reported that the execution would take place at the Fort Hood military base in Texas, where the attack also took place.

TRUMP APPROVED THE EXECUTION

Pentagon Spokesperson Sean Parnell announced that US President Donald Trump approved the imposition of the death penalty on Hasan. Following Trump's approval, the official process to carry out the execution was initiated.

The last time the death penalty was used in the US military was in 1961. If Hasan's execution is carried out as planned, it will be the first time the US military has imposed the death penalty on a prisoner in 65 years.

KILLED 13 PEOPLE, INJURED MORE THAN 30 PEOPLE

Hasan, who served as a psychiatrist in the US Army, opened fire at a medical center in Fort Hood on November 5, 2009. 13 people died and more than 30 people were injured in the attack.

Hasan claimed that he carried out the attack to prevent the soldiers to be sent to Afghanistan from killing Muslims, and admitted during the trial that he was the person who carried out the attack.

Hasan was found guilty of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder by a military court in 2013 and was sentenced to death.

EXECUTION MAY BE POSTPONED DUE TO LEGAL PROCESS

In the news published in the US media, it was stated that although Hasan's execution was determined as December 3, the process was not finalized. It was stated that Hasan could request a stay of execution by applying for "habeas corpus" in the federal civil court, and that such a legal process could postpone the execution for a long time.
