Fort Hood shooting: Texas army killer linked to September 11 terrorists Major Nidal Malik Hasan worshipped at a mosque led by a radical imam said to be a "spiritual adviser" to three of the hijackers who attacked America on Sept 11, 2001.

Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. His mother's funeral was held there in May that year.

The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations.

Hasan's eyes "lit up" when he mentioned his deep respect for al-Awlaki's teachings, according to a fellow Muslim officer at the Fort Hood base in Texas, the scene of Thursday's horrific shooting spree.

As investigators look at Hasan's motives and mindset, his attendance at the mosque could be an important piece of the jigsaw. Al-Awlaki moved to Dar al-Hijrah as imam in January, 2001, from the west coast, and three months later the September 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour began attending his services. A third hijacker attended his services in California.

Can't be terrorism, it was PTSD. What? He was never deployed? Then it was because he was picked on and teased. What? He had rank and wouldn't be teased by lower ranking soldiers? Then it was "compassion fatigue", yeah, that's the ticket... he heard all those horrible war stories and it made him snap. /sarc

They all look dead, as if they know they will do something they can’t take back. This, combined, is the face of Evil.

If I had the software, I’d work up a composite, just to see who it looked like. Anyone?

I presume that IF he is not brain damaged & paralyzed, that he will be found unfit to stand trial, and will live out his days in a VERY nice insane asylum, one with all the amenities. He’ll even be allowed to read his fan mail — and perhaps even marry, perhaps even marry 4 times, LOL.

When government officials claim it’s not terrorism, and we all know that means Muslim terrorism, before they even have all the facts, THAT is a guarantee that it IS Muslim terrorism.

Why is it that we need the Canadian and Brittish press to connect the dots? The U.S. media is a disgrace.

Looks like we need us a Ninth Crusade!

The First Crusade : 1096 to 1099

The Second Crusade : 1147 to 1149

The Third Crusade : 1189 to 1192

The Fourth Crusade : 1201 to 1204

The Fifth Crusade : 1218 to 1221

The Sixth Crusade : 1228 to 1229

The Seventh Crusade : 1248 to 1254

The Eighth Crusade : 1270

It took almost 200 years to get rid of them the first time around!

They’re saying it is “Second-Hand PTSD” because as a counselor, he had to listen to all the horrible stories of the returning vets.

What a stretch!

Just leave him alone in a room there with a bunch of amputees. They can beat him to death with their prostheses.

Like I pointed out yesterday. He graduated from high school in 1988 and started college in 1993. 5 year gap.

He graduated from med school in 2001 and didn’t start his internship until 2003. 2 year gap.

What was he doing during those years?

So does the murder link Obama to the 911 terrorists?
