Fort Hood shooting: Obama orders review of US intelligence | US President Barack Obama has ordered a review of whether the country's intelligence agencies properly
handled and shared their information about the Fort Hood shootings suspect Major Nidal Malik Hasan. Major Hasan, the U.S. Army doctor, has been named as a suspect
in the shooting death of 13 army personnel and the wounding of 31 others at Fort
Hood , Texas . Obama reacted to calls in Congress for an inquiry after the FBI
confirmed that the US government had known of up to 20 e-mails that Major Hasan
exchanged with a radical imam in Yemen since December 2008. The Telegraph quoted
officials, as saying that Major Hasan, 39, an army psychiatrist, will face 13
charges of premeditated murder under the military's legal system. The military
has still to decide on whether to level a 14th count of murder related to the
death of the unborn child of a pregnant woman who died. Hassan was shot and wounded
by two police officers at the enormous military base and is recovering at an army
hospital in San Antonio . His lawyer said he was read the charges at the hospital.
Further evidence has emerged that the authorities chose not to act on evidence
that Major Hasan might pose a security risk. |
