What is known so far
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wants the planned execution by firing squad of convicted attacker Nidal Hasan to take place publicly at a military base. This is reported by Tagesspiegel, Spiegel, and Focus, citing US media.
Hasan is the Fort Hood attacker who killed 13 people and injured dozens more at the then-military base in Texas in 2009. He was sentenced to death. According to the news portal ad-hoc-news, the execution is scheduled for December 3.
First military execution in more than 60 years
US President Donald Trump had previously authorized the execution. As Die Zeit reports, it would be the first execution of a service member in the United States since 1961.
It remains unclear what a "public" execution would concretely look like. Neither Handelsblatt nor other available sources provide details on possible spectators, broadcast methods, or any restrictions on access. According to the reports, Hegseth justifies the move with a desire for transparency. It remains unclear whether the execution on a base would be made accessible to the general public or take place only before military personnel and press representatives.
Update: More details to follow.
