Fort Hood shooter wired money to Pakistan, claims US lawmaker


Washington, Nov.14 : A US lawmaker Michael McCaul has claimed that he has confirmed reports that Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 people and wounded 29 others at the Fort Hood Army Base, Texas, had transferred money to Pakistan.

I have confirmed through independent sources that there were communications and wire transfers made to Pakistan, a US newspaper quoted McCaul, as saying.

This Pakistan connection just raises more red flags about this case and demonstrates why its important for Congress to exercise its oversight authority, McCauls spokesperson, Mike Rosen said.

Rosen said McCaul does not want his sources to be named.

He said McCaul, who is the top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committees intelligence subcommittee, has been actively seeking information from as many credible sources as possible.

When asked about McCauls claims, noted terrorism expert Evan Kohlmann said Hasan is a US citizen of Palestinian descent, with no known family ties to Pakistan.

Kohlmann, who has worked with the FBI and the Defence Department, said there are only two reasons for the psychiatrist to wire money to Islamabad: to support charity or to support jehad.

It raises huge alarm bells, said Kohlmann.

Comments on Fort Hood shooter wired money to Pakistan, claims US lawmaker

Are you surprised? I felt far more surprise at the open support by "As-Sabiqun"- an Islamic outfit in the heart of Washington DC. Its leader - Imam Abdul Alim Musa, a known one time international criminal (his own version) and Imam of a Mosque in Washington DC, has opined that Nidal is a victim of a conspiracy and is being psychologically tormented. He said this to a group of Shia muslim students recently in US itself. He has the temerity and audacity both for his impunity and defending the brazen and blatant crime commited in the breaking hours of the office, people being unaware of this unprovoked beastly act.

Musa also claims to finish and take over US and completely Islamise it by 2050. They also wish to create an "Islamic United States of World" by the begining of the next century, in about 100 yrs through armed struggles. Most of the diehard
Islamic Organisations have a fairly similar ideology and they work in tandem e.g. Al Qaida, Taliban, Let, Hamas &c.
