| Major Nidal Hasan |
WASHINGTON, Nov 21, (AFP) -The army psychiatrist accused of a shooting rampage at the Fort Hood military base in Texas will have his first pre-trial court hearing Saturday in his hospital room, his lawyer's office told AFP.
Major Nidal Hasan, who has been charged with 13 counts of pre-meditated murder, will have a confinement hearing at the Brook Army Medical Center near San Antonio, Texas, said a representative for attorney John Galligan, who asked not to be named.
Hasan is paralyzed below the waist from being shot several times after he allegedly opened fire on a crowd of his fellow soldiers. |
