Updated on 07 November 2009
Investigators in the United States are trying find a motive behind the mass shooting at a Texas military base, which left 13 people dead and more than 40 wounded. Benjamin Cohen reports
It's still unknown why Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a man dedicated to helping his fellow soldiers, allegedly turned on them, firing over 100 shots.
Hasan had told neighbours he was being deployed and gave away his belongings - vegetables, a matress, clothing - and copies of the Quran
He's been described as an introvert who didn't socialise, but his family say the man they've seen on television isn't the one they knew.
