U.S.: Major Nidal Malik Hasan: He didn’t seem different that morning

  • Here’s a video from yesterday morning of Major Nidal Malik Hasan. What’s interesting is that the store owner claims that he gave no sign of what was about to happen on the base. He was a regular customer but didn’t seem particularly violent or dangerous. He did, however, express major amounts of concern about his forthcoming deployment.source

U.S.: “Allahu Ackbar!” the phrase on everyone’s mind this morning

“Allahu Ackbar!”
  • Word on the street is that the gunman, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, shouted this before opening fire. The phrase, by the way, is called the Takbir and means “Allah is the Greatest.” Even if he didn’t have any specific terrorist group ties, he appears to have sympathized with them to some degree. Someday, someone will make a movie about this man, who appears to be a ball of contradiction.source

U.S.: Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan called “Camel Jockey” by peers

  • Just keep in mind mass killers pretty much know they want to die and they tend to take as many people with them as they can in a shooting. It is one of those things where he went and wanted to kill a lot of people and commit suicide maybe in his own mind that he’s saving peoples’ lives.
  • Ex-FBI agent (and ABC News consultant) Brad Garrett • Trying to explain the mindset of Nidal Malik Hasan, who regularly faced criticism in the military from his peers due to his race and religion. He did, however, say things that seemed to validate that fear of him. Most notably, he commented on the Internet at some point that suicide bombings were like soldiers jumping on bombs, trying to protect others. So clearly, not of a traditional mind on the matter. • source
