“Hasan asked for forgiveness and prayers from ‘the believers and the innocents’ for ‘participating in the illegal and immoral aggression against Muslims, their religion and their lands.’ Hasan was a army psychiatrist at Fort Hood and was about to be deployed to Afghanistan at the time of the shooting. Hasan is acting as his own attorney in his court martial. If convicted he could face execution or life in prison without parole. Hasan had said at a pre-trial hearing that he opened fire at the base to protect Muslims and the Taliban in Afghanistan from U.S. aggression. The base is a major center for soldiers deployed to Afghanistan.”
