АНУ-ын Дайны асуудал эрхэлсэн нарийн бичгийн дарга Пит Хегсет Форт Худ баазад халдлага үйлдсэн этгээдийн цаазаар авах ажиллагааг олон нийтэд нээлттэй үзүүлэх шийдвэр гаргажээ.
АНУ-ын армийн сэтгэцийн эмч асан Нидал Малик Хасан 2009 онд Форт Худ баазад халдлага үйлдэж, 13 хүний аминд хүрч, 32 хүнийг шархдуулсан хэргээр цаазаар авах ял сонссон юм. АНУ-ын Дайны яамны мэдээлснээр, тус ялыг арванхоёрдугаар сарын 3-ны өдөр цэргийн галт зэвсгийн салаагаар гүйцэтгэхээр товложээ. Энэ нь АНУ-ын цэргийн хүчний хувьд сүүлийн 60 гаруй жилийн хугацаанд анх удаа, Дэлхийн хоёрдугаар дайнаас хойш армийн галт зэвсгийн салаагаар гүйцэтгэх анхны цаазын ажиллагаа болох юм.
Дайны асуудал эрхэлсэн нарийн бичгийн дарга Пит Хегсет энэхүү шийдвэрээ тайлбарлахдаа, ийм төрлийн ноцтой гэмт хэргийн үр дагаврыг олон нийт таньж мэдэх ёстой гэв. Хасаныг халдлага үйлдсэн тухайн цэргийн баазад нь цаазлах бөгөөд ажиллагааг халдлага болсон цагтай ижил буюу 13:00 цагт эхлүүлэхээр төлөвлөжээ.
Нидал Малик Хасан нь 2013 онд санаатайгаар хүн амины хэрэг үйлдсэн хэргээр ял сонссон бөгөөд АНУ-ын Дээд шүүх 2025 оны гуравдугаар сард түүний давж заалдах хүсэлтийг хэрэгсэхгүй болгосон юм. Ерөнхийлөгч Дональд Трамп Пит Хегсетийн санал болгосны дагуу уг цаазын ялыг баталсан бөгөөд одоогийн байдлаар Хасан холбооны иргэний шүүхээр дамжуулан ялыг хойшлуулах оролдлого хийх эрхтэй хэвээр байна.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth wants the public to witness the punishment of Nidal Hasan, who gunned down 13 people in a rampage at a US base
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has announced plans to livestream the execution of a former US Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people at a military base in Texas, arguing that Americans should witness the consequences of such crimes.
Nidal Malik Hasan, a former Army major sentenced to death for a 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, is scheduled to face a military firing squad on December 3. The execution would be the first carried out by the US military in more than six decades and the first by an Army firing squad since World War II.
Speaking to conservative commentator Jack Posobiec on Thursday, Hegseth defended the decision to execute Hasan at the same installation where he carried out the massacre.
“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 there’s serious consequences for these types of things,” Hegseth said.
MAJOR NEWS!!! @SECWAR REVEALS FORT HOOD SHOOTER’S FIRING SQUAD EXECUTION WILL BE PUBLIC
Sec. Pete Hegseth says Nidal Hasan will be executed by soldiers at Fort Hood on December 3 at 1 PM—the same time as the 2009 attack.
“We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public.”

The Department of War subsequently confirmed that the execution would be livestreamed for public viewing, with further details to follow, according to the Washington Post and AP.
Hasan, a US-born Muslim and former Army psychiatrist, opened fire at a military processing center at Fort Hood on November 5, 2009, killing 13 people and wounding 32 others. He reportedly shouted “Allahu akbar” – Arabic for “God is great” – during the attack.
The gunman had previously exchanged emails with radical Islamic cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was subsequently killed in a US drone strike in Yemen. During his court-martial, Hasan admitted responsibility for the massacre, claiming he had acted to protect fellow Muslims from American military operations in Afghanistan.
He was convicted of premeditated murder and attempted murder in 2013 and sentenced to death. The US Supreme Court declined to review his conviction in March 2025, clearing the way for President Donald Trump to approve the execution earlier this month following a recommendation from Hegseth.
The execution is scheduled for 1pm on December 3, at approximately the same time of day as the original attack.Hasan could still seek to delay his execution through a separate legal challenge in civilian federal court.
The last US military execution took place in 1961, when an Army private was hanged after being convicted of rape and attempted murder of an 11-year-orld girl.
Capital punishment by firing squad remains legal in five US states – Idaho, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Utah – although the method is rarely used.
Public executions are even more unusual in modern American history. The last widely recognized public execution in the US took place in Kentucky in 1936, when a convicted murderer was hanged before thousands of spectators.
