WAR WEARY U.S ARMY MAJOR KILL 13, WOUNDED 30

A US army major, assigned to be deployed overseas, has killed 13 people and wounded 30 others at the Fort Hood Army post, the worst mass shooting ever at a military base in the US.

• The serviceman was identified as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a 39-year-old from Virginia.
• Hassan, first said to have been killed, was wounded but alive and in stable condition under military guard, said Lt. Gen. Bob Cone at Fort Hood.
• Earlier, Col. Ben Danner said the suspect was shot four times and was in critical condition.
• As a military psychiatrist, Hasan was due to be sent on a mission to Iraq, his cousin Nader Hasan told Fox News.
• The major had been resisting such a deployment, Nader added.
• "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," said Nader.
