SAN ANTONIO, TX
Attorney John P. Galligan said police stopped a phone
conversation between Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and one of his brothers
Friday because it was not in English. Galligan told the San Antonio
Express-News on Monday that police at Brooke Army Medical Center in
San Antonio refused to let Hasan pray in Arabic from the Quran with
his brother.
The attorney says he thinks that's illegal and violation of
religious rights.
Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and
32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the Nov. 5 attack.
The military has imposed restrictions requiring all
communication during visits be in English or be delayed until an
interpreter is present.
