U.S. military is not well preparedfor internal security threat, Defense Secretary Robert Gates saidon Friday when briefing on a review of the Fort Hood shootings. "It is clear that as a department, we have not done enough to adaptto the evolving domestic internal security threat to Americantroops and military facilities that has emerged over the pastdecade," said the secretary. Pentagon kicked off a 45-day investigation into the massacre inFort Hood, an Army base in Texas, where a 39-year-old militarypsychiatrist, Maj. Nidal Hasan, killed 13 and wounded over 30others. "The report raises serious questions about the degree to which theentire Department of Defense is prepared for similar incidents inthe future," said Gates. "It also reveals shortcomings in the waythe department is prepared to defend against threats posed byexternal influences operating on members of our militarycommunity." There is growing evidence showing that Hasan had been in contactwith someone on a U.S. "kill or capture" list of al-Qaeda andTaliban targets. Gates also admitted that "the absence of a clear understanding ofwhat motivates a person to become radicalized and commit violentacts" makes the problem even more complicated. At the same time, there is no well-integrated means to gather,evaluate and disseminate the wide range of behavioral indicatorsthat could help commanders better anticipate an internal threat, headded.
