Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology US grieves after Muslim doctor kills 13 on army base AFP - Saturday, November 7 Send IM Story Print An undated photo from www.cstsonline.org of Major Nidal Malik Hasan. A stunned nation battled to understand Friday why the Muslim army psychiatrist snapped, mowing down 13 people and wounding 30 others in a trail of bloodshed at a sprawling US military base. FORT HOOD, Texas (AFP) - – US President Barack Obama led his nation in mourning Friday as shocked Americans struggled to understand why a Muslim army doctor unleashed a massacre at a US military base, killing 13. Alleged shooter Major Nidal Malik Hasan, 39, a psychiatrist and specialist in combat stress who had been about to deploy to Afghanistan against his wishes, also wounded 30 people in Thursday's deadly rampage. Just hours later, Americans were left reeling again when a disgruntled former employee went on the rampage in an office block in Orlando, Florida, Friday killing one and wounding five before being arrested. Speculation swirled at Fort Hood, Texas Friday as to whether the alleged shooter Hasan had snapped under the pressure of his job counseling thousands of war-wreary troops, or was motivated by deeper convictions. Profile of Hassan Obama cautioned against making hasty assumptions as an investigation was launched. "We don't know all of the answers yet. I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all of the facts," he said. "What we do know is that their families, friends, and an entire nation is grieving right now for the valued men and women that came under attack," Obama said. He ordered flags to fly at half-staff at the White House and federal buildings, as troops here and around the world held a minute's silence to mourn the dead. Obama would also attend a memorial service due to be held in the coming days, the White House said. Army chief of staff General George Casey said: "This was a kick in the gut, not only for the Fort Hood community but for the entire army." Hasan was shot and seriously wounded by a female civilian police officer who was being hailed as a heroine for ending his deadly rampage. He remained on a ventilator in a civilian hospital Friday. Witnesses reportedly heard him shout "Allahu Akbar!" (God is greatest) as he opened fire in a troop processing center with a semiautomatic weapon and a handgun. "There are first hand accounts here from soldiers here that are similar to that," base commander Lieutenant General Bob Cone said. Although "Allahu Akbar" is a Muslim prayer, it has come to be associated with Islamic militants as they carry out attacks or suicide bombings. A surveillance video aired by CNN showed the major buying breakfast wearing traditional Muslim garb at a base store just hours before the shooting.

Twelve soldiers and one civilian were killed, and 28 victims were still in hospital Friday. Fort Hood, by area the world's largest US military base, has borne the brunt of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Troops based here have suffered the highest number of casualties and have undertaken multiple tours of duty. Amid the sorrow, the shooting raised delicate questions about Muslim soldiers serving in the US Army, as some Muslim groups feared a huge backlash. General George Casey, the army chief of staff, said after a visit to the base that he, too, feared that possibility. "One of the reasons I told our leaders to keep their people informed and not rush to judgment or speculate until the investigation comes out, I do worry slightly about a potential backlash and we have to be all concerned about that," he said. Hasan was born in the United States to Palestinian parents who had moved from a small town near Jerusalem. His cousin Nader Hasan, writing on behalf of the family as Hasan's parents are dead, said they were stunned by Thursday's events and stressed they all considered themselves Americans. "Our family loves America. We are proud of our country, and saddened by today's tragedy," Nader Hasan said in the message posted on The Washington Post website. Nidal Hasan's aunt, Noel Hasan, told the daily her nephew had been subjected to harassment about his faith since the September 11, 2001 attacks and had repeatedly sought to be discharged. An unsigned video praising the attack appeared on a Islamic militant website called the Fallujah forum on Friday, and was swiftly picked up by other sites. The shooter "seemed upset and did not want to participate in this war, and he did not want to be among the ranks of infidels against his Muslim brothers," the video said, offering its congratulations. Some were convinced Hasan lost control due to the strains of his job. "The questions many here in Texas would ask are when will this nightmare end? And how will we properly care for the 'walking wounded' we have created?" said Fran Hanlon, a member of a Fort Hood outreach center, in a statement.
