Story summary

Nidal Hasan, convicted of killing 13 people and wounding 32 in a terrorist attack at Fort Hood in 2009, is scheduled for execution by firing squad on December 3. President Donald Trump has approved the order from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, marking the first U.S. military execution in over 60 years. The Pentagon initially planned to livestream the execution but now leans against it due to pressure from Congress and others. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of Australia also wants to block the livestream within his country. The decision on whether to broadcast the execution remains pending, with concerns about turning Hasan into a martyr versus sending a clear message against attacks on Americans.
