Trump Reverses Decision to Broadcast Nidal Hassan's Execution Live

- US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he would not broadcast live the execution of Nidal Hasan, who was convicted of killing US soldiers, which was to be carried out by a military firing squad, after the idea sparked a wave of outrage in the United States and around the world.

The US President wrote on his platform, Truth Social, that Nidal Hasan, a military doctor and former US Army officer, “will be executed, as scheduled, by firing squad, but this event will not be broadcast live.”

Hasan, 56, is scheduled to be executed on December 3 at Fort Hood in Texas, following his conviction for killing 13 people, including 12 military personnel, and injuring more than 30 others in an attack he carried out in 2009. This will mark the first execution carried out by the US military since 1961, and the first firing squad execution since 1945.
