Malik Nadal Hasan Bio! Here is a brief biography of Malik Nadal Hasan, or Nidal Malik Hasan, Fort Hood shooting gunman.
Nadal Hasan (Nidal Hasan, or Malik Hasan), was born in Virginia to the Jordanian parents. He joined the army immediately after high school, and in exchange the army paid for him to go to college and medical school.

Hasan graduated in 1997 from Virginia Tech, with a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and in 2003 from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences with a medical degree and later finished his residency as a psychiatrist. In 2009, he completed a fellowship in Disaster and Preventive Psychiatry at the Center for Traumatic Stress (where now Malik Nadal Hasan pic has been withdrawn and his biography info set as pending).
He served as an army psychiatrist, who had transferred to Fort Hood in July from Washington’s Walter Reed Medical Center. Prior to being transferred, he had received a poor performance evaluation.
Malik Hasan was promoted from Captain to Major in May 2009. He was about to be deployed to Iraq on November 28, according to an interview of his cousin Nader Hasan with Fox News. But Malik was upset about the deployment. Apparently, now that’s impossible to happen.
Nidal Hasan was a devout Muslim. His relatives claimed Hasan had been harassed by his Army colleagues because of his religion and Middle Eastern ethnicity.
According to Terry Lee, a retired Colonel, “He [Malik Nadal Hasan] said maybe Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor. At first we thought he meant help the armed forces, but apparently that wasn’t the case.”
Nidal’s cousin couldn’t agree such opinion. “I don’t think he’s ever been disenchanted with the military. It was the harassment. He hired a military attorney to try to have the issue resolved, pay back the government, to get out of the military. He was at the end of trying everything.” He was quoted.
President Barack Obama condemned Malik Nadal Hasan’s shooting rampage as “a horrific outburst of violence.”
Malik Nadal Hasan is 39 years old and unmarried. He survived with several gun shootings and hospitalized. What’s the true motive behind his horrific Fort Hood shooting spree? Malik Nadal Hasan knows it best!
