Pentagon plans livestreamed firing-squad execution in Fort Hood case
The Pentagon says the execution of former U.S. Army major Nidal Hasan, convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 soldiers, will be livestreamed. The plan has drawn strong criticism from human rights groups and some U.S. lawmakers, while some survivors and families say they should have access to observe it.
