Federal law enforcement officials say the suspected Fort Hood, Texas, shooter had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.
The officials say the postings appeared to have been made by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who was killed during the shooting incident that left least 11 others dead and 31 wounded. The officials say they are still trying to confirm that he was the author. They say an official investigation was not opened.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.
One of the Web postings that authorities reviewed is a blog that equates suicide bombers with a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
WASHINGTON (AP) Military officials say the suspected shooter at Fort Hood was a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for six years before being transferred to the Texas base in July.
The officials had access to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's military record. They said he received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed.

Huh??? And he was still on active duty??
Typical CYA drivel.
Brought to you by the people who covered up the Pat Tillman murder.
Six months. Nice.
We are going to lose a lot of good people because of these idiots.
or is it possible, they were watching him to see if he met up with a cell and he found out and moved his plans up to today.

They were telling him that one guy was shouting something in Arabic while he was shooting, Tom Hunt said. He couldnt say much more than that.
This is on Obama’s head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sitting here beyond sorrow.
This sounds like one of those sleeper cells without the nuke suitcase.
We all need to worry bad today.
Another failure of the command ranks!!!
No Military Death Benefits or tears for his family either.
Why did they make him a major? -— in MAY of this year ??? WTF?? I want a full investigation of the Pentagon on what their policy is with these moslems? It is killing people!!!
Homeland Security was too busy watching Amish women with Don’t Tread On Me flag bumper stickers on their horse-drawn-buggies to investigate an obvious terrorist like Malik Hasan.
Well I guess they got their answer.
What? Who murdered Pat Tillman, and why?
I thought he was killed by friendly fire in a battle?
>> Federal law enforcement officials say the suspected Fort Hood, Texas, shooter had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.
But, they’re such chickenshit, politically correct, job-preserving pension-saving pussies that they DIDN’T do a DAMN thing about it.
And now 13 (or more) of our bravest and best are dead, and another thirty or so face the rest of their lives broken and hurting — through no fault of their own.
I hope these “officials” suffer each and every day of their obsequious lives and die in utter misery and humiliation.
What was his DUmmie handle?
Thank God for political correctness.
Another failure of the command ranks!!!
Army veterans,..take a look at this and see if it looks legit...

I'm sure the NSA has the software handy...
So they were aware of this SIX MONTHS AGO..who was President six months ago..well, let’s see..unless I have been hiding under a rock, it wasn’t George W Bush..it was Barack Obama..this guy associated suicide bombers with soldiers who go on grenades to save soldiers..yet this whack job was still on active duty???
HEY, I’VE GOT AN IDEA.
LET’S IGNORE DIRTY MOSLEMS IN OUR MIDST, SO THEY CAN SHOOT WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN COLD BLOOD.
(We’re already pretending ONE dirty moslem isn’t posing as president, so what’s another few dirty moslems?)
The reporting is so Vince Foster. FBI handling a military investigation on base?
Can’t profile.
Bury that turd in a burlap sack filled with bacon.
Ah, the religion of peace strikes again. However, as the feds said, they’re not ‘discussing terrorism’.
Let me say one thing about this tragedy: Texas will NOT sugar-coat this. I believe that is why the news conference is taking so long to materialize. If there is any anti-American sentiment; if they can point to this guy as a radical Muslim, leave it to the boys at Ft. Hood to tell the gd truth.
Yes but Amish is a bitterly clinging to your bible and guns religion.
While Islam is a religion of peace. /s
Today, Omoslem finally found a soldier he’s proud to lead.
But a little by sitting at his desk in school and drawing a picture of a gun might be lead away in handcuffs.
my guess cause the FEDs prolly never contacted the Army
I can only hope we have as many, or even half as many, “undercover” pretending to be one of them as they have openly living amongst us with such vile...
Something tells me we’ll find an Eric Holder memo telling Justice to go slow when it comes to possibly offending muzzies with investigations.
I sincerely hope that Washington isn’t calling the shots. It will really hurt if this gets the “Washington Expert Treatment”.
The mooselimb must have been on some Pentagon PC quota to be promoted.
My exact thought.
NRP —> No Religion of Peace?
The guy just said on Hannity that they reported him up the chain and heard nothing back.
Like I said earlier, the guys in Texas aren’t going to steer anyone wrong on this thing. The shooter was a head case, and all Hell will break loose over the fact that the Army was concerned about him six months ago, but didn’t act. They were most likely practicing the art of political correctness.

Worse, they are actively recruiting Moslems to join military. Hopefully, that practice will stop.
Let’s see now. Bad performance review and he came to the attention of authorities recently but he was promoted earlier this year to major. Makes perfect sense to me. /s
Probably “NidalMHasan - they are still “investigating” to see it was him or some other Nidal M. Hasan.
Fire Napolitano now!
Yes, it looks legit....(of course, I, as the LAST draftee have been out for 37 years!)
Hed id basic, took the omat Casualty Course and went straightto the USU Medical school.
One thing that looks a bit odd, it shows him beginning his Fort Hood assignment at Darnell Army Hospital in JULY, when other reports indicate he began his assignment there in April.
