WASHINGTON (AP) _ Published reports say the Army will conduct an internal investigation to examine whether it missed warning signs about the man accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood.
Citing anonymous officials, The Wall Street Journal said the probe would focus on Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan’s six years at Washington’s Walter Reed Medical Center. He worked there as a psychiatrist before he was transferred to Fort Hood in July.
The Washington Post reports that Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the Army’s chief of staff, is forming the investigative panel.
A military official previously told The Associated Press that doctors who oversaw Hasan’s medical training discussed concerns about his overly zealous religious views and strange behavior months before the attack.
