A senior government official tells ABC News that investigators have found that alleged Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan had "more unexplained connections to people being tracked by the FBI" than just radical cleric Anwar al Awlaki. The official declined to name the individuals but Congressional sources said their names and countries of origin were likely to emerge soon.
Questions already surround Major Hasan's contact with Awlaki, a radical cleric based in Yemen whom authorities consider a recruiter for al Qaeda. U.S. officials now confirm Hasan sent as many as 20 e-mails to Awlaki. Authorities intercepted the e-mails but later deemed them innocent or protected by the first amendment.
The FBI said it turned over the information to the Army, but Defense Department officials today denied that. One military investigator on a joint terror task force with the FBI was shown the e-mails, but they were never forwarded in a formal way to more senior officials at the Pentagon, and the Army did not learn of the contacts until after the shootings.

Sorry, really had to clip this title. apparently Hasan had email connections with numerous shady Muslims.
Ping.
wouldnt surprise me if the emails also indicate some connection to the Obama campaign of 08.
Is the state-run media rebelling against this administration? Goodness, why are they pushing the terrorism angle...Hah.
Many questions here.
Bigtime, But we will never hear it on the lips of the US government or this administration.
Lord knows what is on that traitor’s computer!!!
Bambi is not living up to the all the hype they put on him, its time for the takedown, its all about ratings you know.
Tv networks, build you up then shoot you down.
Why the bleep don’t we send a Predator or other lethal device against this Anwar al Awlaki? Under Bush, no place on earth was going to be a safe haven for terrorists.
When is the public going to ask if Obama toned down the “War on Terror”?
Government protection at its best or PC run amok!

Hussein will protect Islam’s reputation above all else.
They’re pushing the terrorism angle because terrorism gets Hasan out of the US Military court system and into the federal jurisdiction. US Army courts get him if it’s an “internal issue” among soldiers. “Enemy combatants,” terrorism and the like get bumped to the feds now under Obama’s brilliant plan.
This thing will become a media circus if that happens - a jackpot fiasco for apologists, limp wrists and jihadis to all share in the spotlight and be heard.
Who was the man he met with Wednesday night before the shootings? Neighbors say he never had visitors. And this “devout” Muslim who wouldn’t be photographed with women went to a local strip club weeks before the jihad??

Under Obama, terrorists will be comfortable living and working among us. Obama continues to be dishonest with the American People regarding Hasan because he is playing to the Political Correctness and diversity of his base. How many more Americans will have to die for this One Big Ass Mistake American?
I have not heard about the woman ... unless you mean the cleaning woman. Do you have a link, sounds interesting.
Frankly I’m a bit surprised at the investigative work ABC News has done on this guy.
I expected a total whitewash.
Also, who bought the gun he used? He did not purchase it himself... can’t remember what radio show was discussing this today.
