From Fox News: On the third anniversary of the Fort Hood rampage, 148 victims and
family members sued the government Monday for compensation for the
attack allegedly carried out by an Army psychiatrist who is awaiting
trial.
The shooting at the Army base in Texas killed 13 people and wounded more than two dozen others.
The lawsuit alleging negligence by the government said that the
Defense Department is avoiding legal and financial responsibility for
the killings by referring to the shootings as "workplace violence"
rather than as a terrorist attack.
The group also is suing the estate of Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical
U.S.-born Islamic cleric who the victims say inspired the Army
psychiatrist, Maj. Nidal Hasan, to carry out the attack. The two men
exchanged emails before the shootings.
