Nidal Malik Hassan: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

As a psychiatrist, Hasan often counseled soldiers who'd seen combat in Afghanistan and Iraq and struggled with PTSD. He reportedly became traumatized himself after hearing of the horrors they'd experienced while deployed and reportedly tried to get out of the military, but this claim is disputed. He also reportedly began showing [[Americophobia|Anti-American]] sentiments during this period, supposedly because of [[war crimes]] apparently being perpetrated by U.S. military forces against Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq.

In the time period leading up to the shooting, Hassan got in touch with [[Anwar al - Awlaki]], an imam at a mosque in Northern Virginia who was secretly a senior recruiter for [[Al-Qaeda]]. Al-Awlaki further radicalized Hasan and allegedly introduced him to the concept of ~~[[Jihad|~~jihad]].
