Texas Army Killer Linked to 9/11 Terrorists
[Sunday Telegraph-UK] Philip Sherwell and Alex Spillius - Hasan attended the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as September 11 terrorists Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour. His mother's funeral was held there in May that year. The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, a Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organizations. Hasan's eyes "lit up" when he mentioned his deep respect for al-Awlaki's teachings, according to a fellow Muslim officer at Fort Hood.
