Ft. Hood Attack Publicly Called “Terrorism”
February 24, 2010 - 2:07 PM | by: Mike Levine
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has become the first
Obama Administration official to publicly describe last year's deadly
shootings at Ft. Hood, Tex., as a terrorist act, according to a search
of news clips and transcripts.
"Violent Islamic terrorism ... was part and parcel of the Ft. Hood
killings," Napolitano told the Senate Homeland Security Committee on
Wednesday morning. "There is violent Islamic terrorism, be it Al Qaeda
in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen or anywhere else, [and] that is indeed
a major focus of this department and its efforts."
In the months since an Army psychiatrist -- who had been in contact
with a radical Muslim cleric in Yemen -- opened fired inside the Army
base, many on Capitol Hill have urged administration officials to
publicly identify the attack as terrorism.
