Hasan killed 13 people and wounded 32 at Fort Hood in 2009, and his execution would be the first US military execution since 1961.

Army rules say an execution must come 60 to 150 days after the president approves it.
Hasan is one of 4 inmates on US military death row.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell: "Judgement day for Hasan has finally come."

Army rules say an execution must come 60 to 150 days after the president approves it.
The story attributes this to Army rules, and the Army Lawyer journal is listed as a source. Check the arithmetic: Oct. 5 to Dec. 3 is 59 days, so the approval must have come by Oct. 4 for the date to fall inside the window. The story does not give the approval date.

The quote is attributed to Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell, but no listed source's description says it carries the quote. Verify the exact wording, including the spelling 'Judgement'.
