WASHINGTON (AP) - 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.

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. Malik Nadal Hasan's military record. They said he received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because military records are confidential.

Federal law enforcement officials say the Hasan came to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.

The Virginia-born soldier was single with no children. He was 39 years old.

He is a graduate of Virginia Tech University, where he was a member of the ROTC and earned a bachelor's degree in biochemistry in 1997. He received his medical degree from the military's Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., in 2001. At Walter Reed, he did his internship, residency and a fellowship.

another news conference coming soon...

[NotSoModerate]

Wow. And ten minutes after the shooting the FBI said this had nothing to do with terrorism. Really?

[EternalVigilance]

So, his parents were Palestinians.

[Big_Harry]

This is what happens when career politicians run our law enforcement agencies and the military, and is exactly what brought on the periods of vigilantism during the dark days of our country.

[Velveeta]

Absolutely stunning.

[Sir Clancelot]

Interesting. How many internet postings can you make threatening harm to the POTUS before the Secret Service is at your door? About one.

But if you are a Muslim, or the feds think you may be based on your surname, they won’t do anything, because they don’t want to be called “profilers”.

[dragnet2]

NOW WE KNOW WHY THE HUGE NEWS CONFERENCE DELAY...IT'S CYA!

The feds were watching this guy **months** ago, regarding *mulitiple* bomb threats.

[Borax Queen]

But keep hassling ordinary Americans at the airport, making us strip our clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. like some sort of animals.

[paulycy]

There’s plenty of proof here that the guy was angry and none that he was crazy.

[R0CK3T]

I’m still going to say that when the facts are know I’ll bet that those who could have interceded to remove him as a threat chose not to out of fear of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.

[Typical_Whitey]

Yes he wants the focus off healthcare... interesting thought...

[Psycho_Bunny]

Oh.......so THESE are the military-type terrorists the DOJ was carping about several months ago.

[penelopesire]

They are covering for an Obama screw up. Bet you a steak dinner that an Obama bureaucrat or Obama military lackey is behind this man not being booted out 6 months ago.

WHO SENT HIM TO FORT HOOD?

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Especially with the #1 Muslim now in the White House.

Wonder if word has gone from the top down through all the ranks that NO PROFILING of Muslims will be allowed anywhere in the US Military ....no matter what “clues” they are giving about potential to harm others in this country,

Not saying that has occurred since Jan 20 2009 - just wonderin...

[Reverend Wright]

the leftist spin: “HE WAS A GOOD AMERICAN...HE HAD BEEN HARRASSED”

Doesn’t matter. With an incident of this magnitude, no amount of leftist spin can conceal the fact that an America-hating muslim was protected by military PC, was known to be hostile to USA overseas deployments, expressed support for suicide bombings etc, went on a rampage and shot 42 people, killing 11.

The elites may and try to keep a lid on this, but like the Wall Street Bombing of 1920, the popular reaction will force change. In that case is was the end of immigration of anarchists and communists. In this case I think the PC army will go, the cost of the PC/Ostrich strategy has been too great.

[Orbiting_Rosie's_Head]

ANd they didn't investigate him further? THEY ARE TO BLAME FOR THIS!!!

Are you kidding? According to MSNBC's web story, he was PROMOTED in MAY!

NBC News’ Pete Williams reported that U.S. officials identified the gunman as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist who had been promoted to major in May. Defense officials said

[dragnet2]

The feds were watching this guy **months** ago, regarding **multiple** bomb threats.

We've been sitting here watching them delay this news conference down in Texas...almost 3 hours now...

Now we know why there has been this massive delay...

(((This is all about CYA folks)))

[R0CK3T]

>>>>But keep hassling ordinary Americans at the airport, making us strip our clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. like some sort of animals.<<<<

Actually, Nepalitano was far more dedicated to watching those RIGHT WINGERS returning from the War, not Muslims threatening American Soldiers who are fighting the War.

She should be run out of office for wasting her agencies time and resources while this murderous viper simply waited for his time to kill.

[rep-always]

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TELLING MY HUSBAND JUST FIVE MINUTES AGO. THEY ARE DELAYING THIS PRESS CONFERENCE BECAUSE THE WHITE HOUSE IS PROBABLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HIDE THIS TERRORIST ACT FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

[Velveeta]

I’d bet the same.
