Hasan was a U.S. Army psychiatrist and was convicted in the deaths of 13 people in the 2009 attack at Fort Hood, according to information gathered from sources on the case.
France 24 reports that the presidential approval came on Monday. However, the available material does not make it possible to determine the precise calendar date with certainty.
According to France 24, the Army has not yet determined either the date or the location of the execution. Both organizational details concerning the possible implementation of the order therefore remain to be decided.
France 24 describes the possible execution as the first carried out by the U.S. Army since 1961. This is a historical characterization reported by the outlet and not further corroborated by the available material.
Regarding the toll of the attack, ANSA reports that 32 people were injured. The Hindu, by contrast, uses less precise wording, referring to more than 30 injured people.
The case therefore concerns a conviction related to the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, while the process following the approval remains, based on the available information, without a defined date or location for the execution.
