US to Execute Nidal Hasan, First Military Execution Since 1945

The US has approved the execution of Nidal Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist convicted for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13, marking the first military execution since 1945. The decision, approved by President Trump, ends a long legal process and sets a precedent for military capital punishment. The execution method is a firing squad, which is rare in modern US practice.
