Access Dossier

Nidal Malik Hasan fatally shot 13 unarmed US soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009, injuring another 32. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell announced on social media on Monday that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had made the recommendation and President Donald Trump approved it. It will be the first military execution by firing squad since the end of World War Two.

Parnell said the secretary of the Army will set the time and place of the execution. Hasan, a US Army psychiatrist from Virginia, killed 13 soldiers at the base in Texas in 2009 and later admitted in court he was the gunman and apologised for "any mistakes". He said during his court-martial in 2013 that he believed he was protecting Muslims and the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The killings on 5 November 2009 were the deadliest ever non-combat attack on an American military base. The underlying catalysts behind these events trace back to evolving structural dynamics across the Global Politics landscape.

Over recent quarters, multilateral authorities and market participants have navigated mounting volatility, heightening the urgency of coordinated responses and policy alignment. Senior analysts and industry stakeholders underscore that strategic transparency remains paramount.
