I don’t believe that Major Hassan would be considered a an ‘international terrorist attack’. Under any stretch of the imagination.
Major Nidal Hasan, a U.S. Army psychologist, other than being a follower of the Muslim religion, has no known ties to international terrorist groups. Plus he is not an international terrorist plot ... he went on a shooting rampage, pure and simple.
I see no way the shootings at Fort Hood would qualify as ‘an international terrorist attack against the United States ‘.
