Hasan mental health report due next week

FORT HOOD, Texas — A panel of health professionals will submit its report next week on whether an Army psychiatrist is competent to stand trial for the deadly shooting rampage at Fort Hood.

Maj. Nidal Hasan’s attorney, John Galligan, said Thursday that an Army colonel granted the panel’s request for a weeklong extension to submit the report, initially due Friday.

The three-member military panel also will determine Hasan’s mental state the day of the November 2009 shootings on the Texas Army post.

The panel met with Hasan in jail for several days last month and is reviewing documents in the case.

Army officials will review the mental evaluation before deciding whether Hasan will stand trial on 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.
