A Pentagon spokesperson made the announcement on Thursday, drawing uproar from legal quarters as experts and rights groups raised concerns that it could violate US and international laws and, in particular, put minors at risk.
The US military rarely invokes capital punishment, last executing an officer by hanging in 1961. Firing squads are even rarer, and were last used in the military in 1945.
Here’s what we know:
Nidal Malik Hasan, a then-Army major, opened fire at an Army processing centre in Fort Hood, Texas, on November 5, 2009, killing 13 people and injuring 32 others.
An Army psychiatrist found he was acting in an effort to stop military deployments to Afghanistan and to halt the killing of fellow Muslims. Hasan was himself scheduled to be deployed later that month.
Following a lengthy military trial in which Hasan made little effort to defend himself, a jury convicted him in July 2013 of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of murder, and imposed the death penalty.
