Federal law enforcement officials say the suspected Fort Hood, Texas, shooter had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.
The officials say the postings appeared to have been made by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who was killed during the shooting incident that left least 11 others dead and 31 wounded. The officials say they are still trying to confirm that he was the author. They say an official investigation was not opened.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.
One of the Web postings that authorities reviewed is a blog that equates suicide bombers with a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Military officials say the suspected shooter at Fort Hood was a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for six years before being transferred to the Texas base in July.
The officials had access to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's military record. They said he received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed.

Huh??? And he was still on active duty??
Typical CYA drivel.
Brought to you by the people who covered up the Pat Tillman murder.
Six months. Nice.
We are going to lose a lot of good people because of these idiots.
or is it possible, they were watching him to see if he met up with a cell and he found out and moved his plans up to today.

“They were telling him that one guy was shouting something in Arabic while he was shooting,” Tom Hunt said. “He couldn’t say much more than that.”
This is on Obama’s head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sitting here beyond sorrow.
This sounds like one of those sleeper cells without the nuke suitcase.
We all need to worry bad today.
Another failure of the command ranks!!!
No Military Death Benefits or tears for his family either.
Why did they make him a major? -— in MAY of this year ??? WTF?? I want a full investigation of the Pentagon on what their policy is with these moslems? It is killing people!!!
Homeland Security was too busy watching Amish women with Don’t Tread On Me flag bumper stickers on their horse-drawn-buggies to investigate an obvious terrorist like Malik Hasan.
Well I guess they got their answer.
What? Who murdered Pat Tillman, and why?
I thought he was killed by friendly fire in a battle?
>> Federal law enforcement officials say the suspected Fort Hood, Texas, shooter had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.
But, they’re such chickenshit, politically correct, job-preserving pension-saving pussies that they DIDN’T do a DAMN thing about it.
And now 13 (or more) of our bravest and best are dead, and another thirty or so face the rest of their lives broken and hurting — through no fault of their own.
I hope these “officials” suffer each and every day of their obsequious lives and die in utter misery and humiliation.
What was his DUmmie handle?
Thank God for political correctness.
Another failure of the command ranks!!!
Army veterans,..take a look at this and see if it looks legit...
