By Richard A. Serrano, Washington Bureau
February 3, 2011, 9:01 a.m.
WASHINGTON — The FBI and the Pentagon are responsible for a "string of
failures" in the way they attempted to track a disgruntled Army major in the
years before he allegedly opened fire at a crowded Ft. Hood, Texas,
deployment center in the worst domestic terror ambush since the attacks of
September 2001, two key Senate leaders concluded Thursday.
In addition, Army supervisors repeatedly referred to Maj. Nidal Hasan as a "
ticking time bomb," and FBI agents and the military knew he had become
radicalized under the influence of a violent Islamist extremist. Yet the
agents never arrested him, and his military superiors never disciplined or
furloughed him out of the Army.
"The Ft. Hood massacre should have been prevented," said Sen. Joe Lieberman
(I-Conn.), who along with Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) conducted the
investigation into the November 2009 shooting on behalf of the Senate
Homeland Security Committee.
"People in the Department of Defense and the FBI had ample evidence of
alleged killer Nidal Hasan's growing sympathies toward violent Islamist
extremism in the years before the attack. He was not just a ticking time
bomb but a traitor. Thirteen people died needlessly at Ft. Hood."
Hasan, a 41-year-old U.S.-born Muslim of Palestinian descent who worked as
an Army psychiatrist, reportedly yelled, "Allahu Akbar" — Arabic for "God
is great" — when he burst into the Soldier Readiness Center and allegedly
opened fire. Besides the 13 deaths, 32 people were wounded.
Hasan was shot outside the center and was paralyzed from the chest down. The
Army is considering sending him to a general court-martial, where he could
face the death penalty.
The Senate committee leaders launched their investigation to determine what
went wrong in the Hasan case and how future "lone-wolf terrorists" could be
spotted and dealt with.
Along the way, the FBI, the Department of Justice and the Pentagon all
tussled with the senators, sometimes refusing to provide critical documents
that shed light on Hasan's past and what they knew about him. At one point,
the committee threatened subpoenas.
Lieberman and Collins said their "basic conclusion" was that the FBI and the
Defense Department never had specific information of a time or place when
Hasan might attack. But, they said, the agencies "collectively had
sufficient information to have detected Hasan's radicalization to violent
Islamist extremism but failed to understand and to act on it."
Furthermore, they said, "our investigation found specific systemic failures
in the government's handling of the Hasan case and raises additional
concerns about what may be broader systemic issues."
The bottom line, they said, was that "the FBI and DoD together failed to
recognize and to link the information that they possessed about Hasan."
They determined that federal law-enforcement agents, "to the FBI's credit,"
did flag Hasan for additional scrutiny by the FBI after learning of his
radicalization.
Much of that occurred after Hasan had contacts, often by e-mail, with Anwar
Awlaki, an American-born Yemen-based Islamic cleric with suspected ties to
Al Qaeda.
"I can't wait to join you" in the afterlife, Hasan once reportedly e-mailed
Awlaki. After the shootings, Awlaki praised Hasan as a "hero" and a "man of
conscience … serving in an Army that is fighting against its own people."
Hasan's radicalization "was on full display to his superiors and colleagues
during his military medical training," the Lieberman-Collins report said. "
An instructor and a colleague referred to Hasan as a 'ticking time bomb.' "
Yet "not only was no action taken to discipline or discharge him, but also
his Officer Evaluation report sanitized his obsession with violent Islamist
extremism into praiseworthy research on counterterrorism."
An FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force learned of his radicalization and passed
it on to another FBI task force. "However, the ensuing inquiry failed to
identify the totality of Hasan's communications and to inform Hasan's
military chain of command and Army security officials of the fact that he
was communicating with a suspected violent Islamist extremist."
The Hasan e-mails to Awlaki, known to preach violence and accused of
encouraging others to kill for Al Qaeda, should have immediately been seen
as "a shocking course of conduct for a U.S. military officer." Instead, the
FBI read his evaluation report and agreed that he was probably only doing
research.
The FBI also decided the evidence against Hasan was "slim," and agents "
dropped the matter rather than cause a bureaucratic confrontation," the
report said.
Even officials at FBI headquarters in Washington "never acted" on the
evidence. "As a result, the FBI's inquiry into Hasan ended prematurely."
Had the evidence been investigated further, and shared with counter-
intelligence officials, the report concluded, "this critical mistake may
have been avoided."
