U.S. Army: Fort Hood shooting suspect charged with murder
By News Agencies
Tags: Fort Hood shooting 

The U.S. Army has charged an Army psychiatrist suspected of killing 13 people in last week's shooting spree at the Fort Hood with murder, an Army spokesman said on Thursday.

U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command spokesman Chris Grey told a news conference at the Texas base that additional charges may also be filed against Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.

Hasan, who is of Palestinian descent, is suspected of killing 12 soldiers and one civilian in last Thursday's shooting spree at Fort Hood.

He was shot and wounded by two police officers at the base, and remains in recovery at an Army hospital in San Antonio. His attorney said he was read the charges at the hospital.

Hasan's grandfather said on Saturday he found it impossible to believe his grandson had committed the act.

"He is a doctor and loves the U.S.," Ismail Mustafa Hamad said in an interview at his home in the Palestinian town of al-Bireh. "America made him what he is."

U.S. President Barack Obama, meanwhile, has ordered a review of how U.S. intelligence agencies handled information they may have gathered about Hasan following questions about whether U.S. authorities may have missed warning signs about him.

Hasan is currently undergoing treatment at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas.
