Report: CIA knew of Texas shooter's al-Qaeda ties
US intelligence agencies had prior knowledge of Maj. Nidal Hasan's ties to global terror organization; not clear if military sources were informed
US intelligence agencies knew Major Nidal Malik Hasan – who allegedly carried out the massacre at Fort Hood military base in Texas – tried to make contact with the al-Qaeda terror organization only several months prior to the shooting, the ABC network reported Monday, quoting security sources in Washington.
The incident that horrified the United States occurred last Thursday night. The gunman opened fire inside the infirmary waiting room at the Fort Hood military base in Texas, killing 13 soldiers who were in line to see the doctor. The gunman was intercepted by security forces at the base.
Initial investigation concluded that Hasan, who worked as a psychiatrist at the base, operated alone.
In the latest development, ABC network revealed that US intelligence sources were aware of the Muslim major's attempts to contact sources affiliated to al-Qaeda.
While it is not clear whether the military was informed of these attempts, a security source said that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) refused to release any intelligence they might have collected in connection with the shooter.

Hey to you too, ARridgerunner! I just freepmailed you a few mintues ago.
I am much more freaked out becuase of the usurper in chief and his many assistants either tolerated this, enabled it, or worse.
You expect Muslim jihadis to be Muslim jihadis. But the presisdent, his advisors, the head of DHS, the military - you expect them to be on the side that is opposed to jihad.
That is the thing that is keeping me awake, poring over FR way too many hours a day, and ruining my digestion.
Plus I’m sort of getting over the flu (2 1/2 weeks so far) and too out of it to do much else.
Have you seen this? It’s a pretty good little series - if you don’t mind a big of bloody martial arts. Beautiful scenery with a bit of Sanskrit mantras here and there. And killing bad guys.

A BIT of bloody etc. Dang, and I even previewed it.
There are ten parts, they’re up to eight shown so far.
I'm getting over some gunk myself so will check it tomorrow. (Might be time to read the Gita again, too.)
heard alot on FNC tonite. His old imam is in the ME as we speak & his name has previously been on TM. Don’t forgot BO (Barry Obama) said let’s not jump to conclusions #”^&?>:!!!
That was sarcasm..... I do not operate within the confines of Text-Talk or Inner-City Patois.
I will not “LOL”.
Have Americans forgotten the English language?
“in adequate” ?
“my bad”?
Sheeesh! Any English speakers here?
Anything more to add, Tamar?
If not, move along because you did not add jack squat to this thread or is “jack squat” trademarked for use with only Barry?
You are an extreme Nube,,,,, so we have been tolerant, however, you may be happier somewhere else.
Bye
I am happy right here.
You going to make me leave?
Move along child.
I want to know what Pete Hoekstra knows. He said Obama isn’t telling the whole story with Hasan.
I have a literal mind. It’s gotten me in trouble before. When I am familiar with a poster, then I can read intonation and meaning into the typed words. When I am not familiar with someone’s writing style, then it is harder. Since I have run into all kinds of people on FR, at first I cannot always tell if someone is sarcastic or not.
And since practioners of TROP often do engage in buggery, it added to the confusion.
Regarding inner city patois, you’re barking up the wrong tree! (lol).
