A Defense Department worker on a terrorism task force looked into Fort Hood shooting suspect Nidal Hasan's background months ago, officials said Tuesday.
Opening statements are set to be delivered Tuesday in the trial of a soldier accused of planning to bomb a restaurant frequented by Fort Hood troops in Texas.
A military judge agreed to delay the trial for Major Nidal Hasan who is accused of killing 13 people during a shooting rampage at Fort Hood in November 2009.
