Malik Nadal Hasan 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, where he was a member of ROTC with a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and in 2003 from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences with a medical degree (M.D.) 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.

According to Nidal Malik Hasan’s aunt, he had sought for several years to receive a discharge, due to harassment relating to his religion, Islam. An army spokesman could not confirm the aunt’s statement. Hasan had come to the attention of federal authorities at least six months before the attacks because of internet postings he may have made discussing suicide bombings and other threats. However, it remains unclear that he was the author of the posts, and no official investigation was opened.

Malik Nadal Hasan was promoted from Captain to Major in May 2009. Hasan was about to be deployed, whether to Iraq or Afghanistan is unclear on November 28. According to Jeff Sadoski, spokesperson of U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, “Hasan was upset about his deployment”. Hasan’s cousin, Nader Hasan, a lawyer in Virginia, said that Nidal Hasan turned against the wars after hearing the stories of those who came back from Afghanistan and Iraq. Noel Hamad said, however, that the family did not know he was being sent to Iraq. “He didn’t tell us he was going to deploy,” she said.

According to his cousin, Nidal Hasan was a practicing Muslim who had become more devout after the deaths of his parents in 1998 and 2001. However, his cousin does not recall him ever expressing any radical or anti-American views. The cousin added that Malik Nadal Hasan had been harassed by his Army colleagues because of his Middle Eastern ethnicity. Said the cousin, “He was dealing with some harassment from his military colleagues. 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.”

According to retired Colonel Terry Lee, “He 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. Other times he would make comments we shouldn’t be in the war in the first place.”

Malik Nadal Hasan is single with no children. Early reports stated that Hasan had been shot dead. He survived his gunshot wounds, and was hospitalized.
