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.

The guy just said on Hannity that they reported him up the chain and heard nothing back.
Like I said earlier, the guys in Texas aren’t going to steer anyone wrong on this thing. The shooter was a head case, and all Hell will break loose over the fact that the Army was concerned about him six months ago, but didn’t act. They were most likely practicing the art of political correctness.

Worse, they are actively recruiting Moslems to join military. Hopefully, that practice will stop.
Let’s see now. Bad performance review and he came to the attention of authorities recently but he was promoted earlier this year to major. Makes perfect sense to me. /s
Probably “NidalMHasan - they are still “investigating” to see it was him or some other Nidal M. Hasan.
Fire Napolitano now!
Yes, it looks legit....(of course, I, as the LAST draftee have been out for 37 years!)
Hed id basic, took the omat Casualty Course and went straightto the USU Medical school.
One thing that looks a bit odd, it shows him beginning his Fort Hood assignment at Darnell Army Hospital in JULY, when other reports indicate he began his assignment there in April.
Another slight oddity, he stated “No Religious Preference” in 1997, when he entered.
If this record is authentic, it has his SS# on it, up there, top right.
gone. did you save it?
Wsan’t Pat Tillman the guy who loved Communism and was an atheist?
I remember reading that in the news.
“they are actively recruiting Moslems to join military. Hopefully, that practice will stop.”
But this guy was in for a long time. Did ROTC, then the Uniformed Services med school. All tolled, it’s more than half his life! It will be intereting to find out when he became a radical Muslim. Not really likely he entered as a radical and stayed a sleeper this long.
it was gone five minutes after I posted it last night.
That is ok, I have it.
Thanks.
