Was it a crazy rampage of a single perpetrator? Was it a politically motivated terrorist attack? At least the religious attitude of the offender gets increasingly in the media focus. And now there is even a link to 9 / 11. But first, the actual crime itself
The 39-year-old military psychiatrist Major Malik Hasan Nadal opened on November 5 in the Fort Hood Army Base in Texas, fire on soldiers who were in the Endvorbereitung on their use in Iraq . Thirteen were killed and 30 wounded. Hasan himself was badly wounded by four bullets and is in intensive care. In the first reports it was still called, Hasan has come even with the gun died. The fact that Hasan's death was first confirmed officially, is not the only absurdity of Tatablaufs. In the first reports have been reported from other offenders and their detention.
"The gunman was killed. He was a soldier. We have arrested two more suspected then soldiers, and there were eye witnesses reportedly said, possibly more than one shooter .(...) witnesses that the gunman wore military uniforms." ( source )
The soldier was shot, the police reported, and two other soldiers were arrested shortly after the shooting. The two men were armed with M-16 rifles. (...) Sergeant Major Jamie posts, stationed in Fort Hood, confirmed that there were several running amok. He told CNN: "More than one shooter was from our 'Soldier Registration Processing Centre' and the Fort Hood-house theater shots." Sergeant Major items confirmed that a man is in custody in connection with the incident, but he could not give further information about the gunman or. (...)
Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson told CNN that she was told that the gunman wore uniforms of the U.S. Army, but it was not certain whether they are military personnel or fraud. ( source )
reportedly the two detained soldiers were re-released, a third person is still in prison total've Hasan over 100 shots from a semiautomatic weapon, a Belgian FN Herstal 5.7mm given. He must have at least six times recharged. He also carried a .357 Magnum with him, but was not out of the shot was fired. It is strange 100 shots to anyone over 40 people while six can make recharge times, moreover, on a military installation without being stopped. [For this issue see also the comment under the article of Lampadia] While the soldiers are armed to the plant is not in principle, according to military figures, but among the victims were four armed policemen. And finally there was also a police officer that Hasan with four bullets stopped and was injured himself. It is also strange how fast it was, despite more than 40 victims and shot over 100 shots fired with the ballistic result. For example, reported the New York Times' on November 6:
According to the local police ballistic tests showed that there was only one gunman and that none of the victims was injured by a police bullet. ( source )
But the investigators of the military and federal agencies are refusing to disclose further details, how did the shooting happened, why it initially been reports of multiple attackers and why official agencies have taken several hours to correct media reports about Major Hasan's death. Most important, however, is that officials can not say whether the attack was the work of a single, troubled man, or in association with terror groups in the stands at home or abroad. (Source )
When Major Hasan motifs were initially identified his mental problems and his fear of a mission in Afghanistan. More and more, but gets his religious views and his opposition to the "War on Terror" in the foreground. So he did during the act of "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is Great ") called. The anti-Muslim sentiment, as manifested since 9 / 11 ( in Germany), was fueled by even more. U.S. Muslims dissociate from Hasan's actions and feared reprisals . Hasan himself behaved according to witnesses upon entering the military base normal and calm . The bring your own weapons and the large number of ammunition suggests that he planned the act before entering and not act on impulse. Authorities were already half a year before a aware of him when he commented positively on the internet about suicide bombings.
seems clear that the Army has missed an increasing number of alarms that with Hasan in their ranks and a disturbed individual to himself is brooding. "I was shocked but not surprised by the news of the attack on Thursday, "said Dr.Val Finnell, a fellow student of a public health course from 2007-08, who heard Hasan described the war on terror as a war against Islam. Another Student warned the military officers that Hasan was a "ticking time bomb" after he reportedly gave a presentation in which he defended suicide bombers. ( source )
Alerts: Major Malik Hasan
While investigators after Hasan's thinking and his motives, his presence could make in a mosque is an important part in this puzzle. Al-Awlaki pulled an Imam from the west coast in the 'Dar al-Hijrah' [mosque] in January 2001. Three months later began 9/11-Hijacker Nawaf al-Hazmi and Hani Hanjour take his services. A third hijacker took his services in California to complete. Hasan prayed in the Dar al-Hijrah [mosque] to approximately the same time. The FBI will investigate whether it has made the two terrorists. (Source )
if Hasan had connections to these people, this would also mean that he was indirectly related to intelligence agencies. The radical Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki was already under surveillance since the summer of 1999 by the FBI. Even before the FBI stopped its investigation in 2000, met Al-Awlaki "behind closed doors" with the alleged 9/11-Hijackern Nawaf al- Hazmi and Khalid Almihdhar (' Report of the Joint Inquiry ', page 178). Awlaki is considered her "spiritual advisor" ( ibid, page 27).
Spiritual Advisor Arwan Al-Awlaki
to terminate the investigation against Al-Awlaki says the 'joint Inquiry' Report:
The final memorandum assured the agent that the imam was "fully identified and the criteria for a further investigation fulfilled. The investigation was closed, despite the contacts of the Imam to those affected by counter-terrorism investigations and reports on its compounds suspected organizations. (Ibid ., P. 179)
is surprising that al-Hazmi and Almihdhar at all were able to easily enter the United States. Al-Hazmi and Almihdhar had hidden in their Saudi passports Notices that they characterized as radical Islamists and potential terrorists. ( 9 / 11 and Terrorist Travel, "page 33 ) This approach to the Saudi authorities, the expulsion of terrorist suspects for better tracking a flag, the U.S. authorities had not been known. However, Al-Hazmi and Almihdhar were also placed on a terrorist watchlist Saudi and the CIA was informed . However, they could enter freely. They received their visas in 1999, when they were called "Al-Qaeda veterans" were, in the U.S. consulate in Jedda, Saudi Arabia. For legality had their visa applications rejected, according to experts will have - as a total of 15 of the 19 identified by the alleged 9/11-Hijackern applications. According to former consular employee Michael Springman, the embassy in Jedda used by the CIA was to bring Islamists in the U.S. and there train for their future use, such as Afghanistan, Bosnia or Chechnya.
Even Al-Hazmi and Almihdhar in 1995 in Bosnia and then fought in Chechnya and Afghanistan ("Report of the Joint Inquiry ", p.131). On the same side of the Inquiry report there is also the interesting note that al-Hazmi in early 1999 to Saudi Arabia returned, and there openly provided information about the attacks on the U.S. embassies 1998th To whom did this, it is not mentioned in the report. It should not be forgotten that the U.S. American mercenary company MPRI (Military Professional Resources Inc.), which is the Pentagon's very close and gathered in the high-level ex-generals are hundreds of Islamic "Al-Qaeda fighters in Bosnia took , where trained and fitted out so that they are fighting against the Serbs. (Recommended commented: "As the Jihad came to Europe ").
Not only the FBI, the NSA Eavesdropping Authority (National Security Agency) showed particular interest in Al-Hazmi and Almihdhar and supervised at least since early 1999. In particular, their relation to Ahmed al-Hada became the focus of attention.
Ahmed al-Hada and his phone is one of the biggest mysteries surrounding 9 / 11. Although knew several U.S. and other authorities that he is connected with Al-Qaeda, was involved in the attacks on the embassies in Africa in 1998 and the attack on the USS Cole in 2000, it was al-Hada allowed to continue to operate. He was a key link in 9 / 11. The surveillance of al-Hadas phone provided by the United States enough information to 9 / 11 to prevent. There were numerous Talks between the al-Hada family in Sana'a, Yemen, which was monitored by NSA and CIA, Khalid Almihdhar and 9/11-Hijacker, al-Hadas son, and Nawaf Al-Hazmi in the United States. These conversations were recorded and analyzed by the NSA and could have been used to locate the residence of the hijackers in the United States. At least one of the phones were registered to Al-Hazmi, from which the NSA knew he was an Al Qaeda operative. But did not and the reason all this has never been adequately explained. (Source )
The reason might be Al-Hazmis Almihdhar and close contact with Omar Al-Bayoumi. Al-Bayoumi took two after entering in the U.S. in January 2000 from the airport in Los Angeles from ( source ). Thereafter they lived for two weeks in his apartment in San Diego before settling in San Diego even procured an apartment. They lived there then together with an FBI informant . On the day of collection telephoned Al-Bayoumi four times with the Imam Al-Awlaki. Al-Bayoumi probably put the contact of the two alleged hijackers for their "spiritual adviser" her. As has been found to Al-Bayoumi also working for the Saudi intelligence service.
Senator Bob Graham, chairman of the 9/11-Kongress-Untersuchung, it finds, according to Philip Shenon book
"obvious that the friendly Al-Bayoumi is an under-ranking agent of Saudi intelligence, "and" that set it by his government to San Diego, was there to keep an eye on the relatively large Saudi community in Southern California. "(S .52).
Before he came to the U.S., Al-Bayoumi worked for the Saudi Defense and Aviation Ministry, led by Prince Sultan. His salary was approved by Hamid al-Rashid, a Saudi government official whose son, Saud searched al-Rashid, because of the U.S. connections to 9 / 11 .

Saudi agent Omar al-Bayoumi
In the U.S., Al-Bayoumi relates monthly salary from the 'Dallah Avco' , a Saudi aviation company, which in turn has extensive relations with the Saudi Defense and Aviation Ministry. From early 1995 to 2002, he receives a monthly $ 3,000 for a project in Saudi Arabia, even though he lives in the United States. Members of Congress believe that he was a "ghost employee" , who actually do any work. The payments to him had increased significantly after he came in early 2000 in contact with Al-Hamza and Almihdhar.
According to Senator Bob Graham, increased with the arrival of the two, the number of the talks, Al-Bayoumi with Saudi government officials in Washington and Los Angeles led rapidly. FBI documents he phoned 32 times, according to the Saudi Embassy in Washington and 24 times with the Saudi consulate in Los Angeles.
Al-Bayoumi apparently had "access to unlimited funding from Saudi Arabia." For example, he made $ 400,000 for the purchase of a mosque in San Diego available. ( Report of the Joint Inquiry , p.174)
"Al-Bayoumi came here, all built on financially, the al-Qaida cell in San Diego and the mosque," said an FBI investigator, who wished to remain anonymous. (Source )
Although Al-Bayoumi said to have been for the development of al-Qaida cell responsible, he was after 9 / 11 detained for a week in the UK. He then continued to study in the United Kingdom and sat down in November 2002 result of further media reports from Saudi Arabia. For "reasons that are unclear," the 'Report of the Joint Inquiry' on page 174, the FBI turned its investigation over an Al-Bayoumi in July 1999. After 9 / 11, the Act al-Bayoumi was reopened in March 2004, the FBI finally concluded .
Senator Bob Graham said in his book of a "cover-up", ie a cover-up. It is likely similar reasons, such as al-Bayoumi be due to relations with government institutions, why Al-Awlaki not after 9 / 11 arrests, but the beginning of 2002 even had to leave from the U.S.. And, although - apart from its links to al-Qaida and the 9/11-Hijackern - a neighbor reported the following Awlaki:
"He came over before he left [in August 2001] and told me that something big would happen, and that he must be out of the country when it happened. "(Source )
After his departure from the USA in early 2002 Al-Awlaki by the State Department to a list of wanted terror suspect set. But when he on Oct 10, 2002 again moving into the U.S., he was interrogated for three hours and then run. The State Department had canceled the day before his arrest warrant.
Al-Awlaki returned for a short time in October 2002 in the U.S., but the federal authorities had no reasonable cause to take him into custody, although his name appears in a terrorist database. ( source )
Well, in Guantanamo Bay sit now for eight years, hundreds who have been detained without "reasonable cause" and of which the vast majority of the alleged 9/11-Hijacker probably the first time after 9 / 11 TV shows to get through the face. The reasoning seems advanced. Al-Awlaki is more likely to enjoy special protection by state authorities.
Another aspect, which indicates that it is Al-Awlaki more of a radical mission preacher, as a devout preacher, are his repeated, even court competent, relations with prostitutes . Today Awlaki lives in Yemen. He would not be the first radical preacher who incites Muslims against the West and simultaneously receives special protection by Western services. So I already reported on the two hate preachers London, Abu Qatada and Abu Hamza, who cooperated with intelligence agencies. Not to forget Yehia Yousif, who has for years set as constitutional protection informants young Muslim radical idea in his head. The Sauerland cell to Fritz Gelowicz was radicalized by his influence.
Also in the Telegraph article said Hani Hanjour, alleged pilot of Flight 77 was the sensors of the intelligence services did not escape. On the one hand, he also maintained contact with Al-Bayoumi . On the other hand, the FBI was informed extensively about Hanjour by the statements of the double agents Aukai Collins.
Hanjour attended the same way as Al-Hazmi and Almihdhar different flight schools. While according to the official version of Al-Hazmi and Almihdhar controlled none of the hijacked planes, according to the report of the 9/11-Commission Hanjour was the most able of the four suicide pilots (see Commission Report, S.530, footnote 147). He had to be, finally, was his practice with the Boeing 757 that hit the Pentagon on side, very complicated. Surprising, however, remains that not only Al-Hazmi and Almihdhar by instructors as "Dumb and Dumber ", was also expressed about Hanjour all verifiable instructor only negative. According to them Hanjour was not even able to fly a small Cessna - of a large Boeing to mention.
Whether gunman Major Hasan, who humiliated again and again by his army comrades and about as "camel rider" offended was really doing anything with the alleged 9/11-Tätern had, or whether he attended only by chance the same mosque, but it should not really be important. What matters is that one of its case, probably mainly due to the psychological problems , Now can use to him in the sense of the war on terror to interpret. Finally, it would be the first deadly act after 9 / 11 in the U.S., you can strike some way (the influence of) Al-Qaeda. In addition to his case can be obtained by the 9/11-Terror triggered massive threat perception on the home front to brush up. Many are supposed to have already forgotten why we fight in Afghanistan at all. Or perhaps soon in Pakistan . If Major Hasan was not a Muslim but a Christian or Jew, whether it then, as now expressed by the Republican politicians who would read: "The enemy infiltrated our military ?
------------------------------------------- -----------
Update I:
Al-Awlaki logs in Blog by: Hasan did the right thing - addition : Authorities were aware of Hasan's efforts to contact Al-Qaida
Increasingly, the act is interpreted as a massacre, but as " home grown terrorism "
Hasan is present in a lecture Dozens of his military psychiatrist colleagues have said that we should cut the throats of infidels , decapitate them with oil and pour over .
Ironically, of all the psychologists will have no one noticed that Hasan no longer has all the slats of the fence? But noticed they had it already, but:
"An army doctor who knew him said that they had been afraid discriminatory to appear against a Muslim soldier, which had prevented officers, complaints about Hasan." (Source )
fit together Like the fact that Hasan simultaneously because his faith and his pedigree has been discriminated against others as a "camel"? Also, what should it be discriminatory if it complains about someone who publicly - and moreover, as a psychologist - spread the worst violent fantasies and obviously not under control. How should the soldiers can help in the processing of their psychological problems? Wanted to or could not see the military leadership of the warning signs? In view of the fact that she was warned by students to Hasan, the question must be well: Why did not the military leadership to see, what about Major Hasan?
----------------------------------------------- -------
Update II:
During the rampage now is evaluated by lawyers as a terrorist act , he is now being misused to the 9/11-Truth-Bewegung that a new investigation of the events of 11 . September 2001 claimed to discredit and to make front against them. Major Hasan wanted to die as martyrs, it says here . And again,
There are tens of thousands of Hasan's all over the world - from Brussels to Berlin, and from Burgos, Spain, Birmingham, UK. For this was the 11 September 2001 by the CIA and Israel's foreign intelligence service Mossad hatched a conspiracy. Although Osama bin Laden and his number 2, Ajman, al-Zawahiri, both endorsed the Sept. 11, countless millions are convinced they have nothing to do with the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.
The article gives the false impression that only radical Islamists question the events of September 11 and would doubt. Will we draw the movement of the 9/11-Skeptiker in the dirt, then radical Islamists are also much better suited than about almost 1000 architects and engineers .
9/11-Intrigen-Geschichten circle the globe and are a global industry has grown, replete with well-selling books in a large number of languages, videos, web sites and lectures by people who claim to have, on special inner insights.
The fact that this is just stupid talk, it was not commanded as Jews before the day of the attack, stay away from their work in the Twin Towers, usefully be ignored.
Three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead. A conspiracy of such magnitude as the 11-September would have required much more than just three. Nevertheless, two former Egyptian ambassador said that there are long retired, to the author in Cairo last month that they are convinced that "the participation of the U.S. government for 9 / 11" was. One of them said that buildings that are as solid as the twin towers, not just collapse like a house of cards, it is, one would have explosive devices programmed in different floors, which detonated when the floor started to collapse it.
All Arab newspapers have published detailed reports about how the Israeli intelligence manipulated his friends in the highest positions in the Pentagon and the CIA. The conspiracy theories do not show any signs of fatigue. Those who peddle a manifestly fraudulent representations, exaggerate and embellish constantly reports on Israeli tourists, allegedly the collapse of the Twin Towers on video recorded and celebrated.
For celebrating "tourists" it was the way to Mossad agents. But that's another story ... Of course, is also resorted to the very lowest drawer, the mother of all allegations:
The conspiracy theory of September 11th now competes with the Holocaust-denial. Forty percent of the Arab population of Israel says that the Holocaust never happened added. This phenomenon is, understandably, more common among those who were born after World War 2.
The author is not contradictory, since it contradicts itself. Who believes that a secret fly up from only three people have, but at the same time convinced that have been involved on 9 / 11 alone is at least 19 hijackers, which is due to their conspiratorial approach is not wise to come, which is with his own thinking on war footing. These kinds of doublethink you experience in connection with the Al Qaeda phenomenon all too common. Whether it is for this item is an individual opinion is, or whether he is leading a major campaign against the movement of 9/11-Skeptiker remains to be seen. The author of the article, Arnaud de Borchgrave is, incidentally, a member of the influential Council of Foreign Relations .
-------------------------------------------- ----------
Update III:
New evidence indicates that no police officer Sergeant Kimberly D. Munley the massacre of Major Hasan has stopped but the police officer Senior Sergeant Mark Todd. Todd shot to Hasan, he took off his gun and then put him in handcuffs.
Maybe it's because - see "liberation" of Jessica Lynch from an Iraqi hospital - that it is Sgt Munley to a white woman, would like a Sgt.Todd black man who identifies himself with the white majority population and the average Fox News and CNN audiences rather, should be on hand. The identification is expected in the population but its greatest when both in how the talk show 'Oprah' Tandem . Occur Two heroes are better than one is - so to speak, double-plus good.
Todd Munley and in the talk show with Oprah Winfrey
--------------------------- ---------------------------
Update IV:
Not really an update, since only three days old: The 'World' lodged in connection with alleged connections Hasan to 9 / 11 already the question whether it is a "clever sleeper" is. However sleeper sleeper called because they proclaim their views and intentions are not loudly, as Hasan
Hasan was once under otherwise medical seminar contribution, the topic "Is the war on terror is a war against Islam?" Is selected and the rhetorical question in the affirmative. In debates justified Hasan suicide attacks and recommended in a power point presentation to senior officers, soldiers, Muslim faith allow a denial of the front line in Iraq and Afghanistan for reasons of conscience to boost the morale of the fighting forces and "prevent harm to".
Had the author read his own article Uwe Schmitt attention, he would not even come to the question whether this is a "clever sleeper" concerns.
