Major Nidal Malik Hasan's military superiors repeatedly ignored or rebuffed his efforts to open criminal prosecutions of soldiers he claimed had confessed to "war crimes" during psychiatric counseling, according to investigative reports circulated among federal law enforcement officials.
On Nov. 4, the day after his last attempt to raise the issue, he took extra target practice at Stan's shooting range in nearby Florence, Texas and then closed a safe deposit box he had at a Bank of America branch in Killeen, according to the reports. A bank employee told investigators Hasan appeared nervous and said, "You'll never see me again."
A corporate spokesperson contacted by ABC News had no comment.
Investigators believe Hasan's frustration over the failure of the Army to pursue what he regarded as criminal acts by U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan may have helped to trigger the shootings.
"The Army may not want to admit it, and you may not hear much about it, but it was very big for him," said one of the federal investigators on the task force collecting evidence of the crime.
His last effort to get the attention of military investigators came on Nov. 2, three days before his alleged shooting spree, according to the reports.
Colonel Anthony Febbo at Fort Hood reportedly told investigators he was twice contacted by Hasan, on Nov. 2 and a week earlier in October, about the question of whether he could legally provide information on "war crimes" he had learned in the course of psychiatric counseling he provided soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Living in today's America is like being bit by a pit bull 10 times, and ya wanna attack anyone that comes near you...
Ah, bhfred, all 14 are precious in God’s eyes. I can’t get over how many people knew this dude had BIG problems, and did not connect the dots either because of their seperation from all the relevant facts and /or all the PC implications that would have occurred had this dude been canned.
Either way, not acceptable going forward.
Of course they are, Girl. My comment was not in any way meant to lessen that. Since this is a family show I can’t even begin to describe to you what should happen. My earlier outburst is the tip of the iceberg. I get a little wild when children are getting harmed. I bet you could guess why.
