FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) -The Fort Hood shooting suspect made or accepted wire transfers with Pakistan, a country wracked by Muslim extremist violence.
That's according to Texas Congressman Michael McCaul, the ranking Republican on the House Homeland Security Intelligence Subcommittee.
In a statement, McCaul says he's confirmed through "independent sources" that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan also had communications with Pakistan.
Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder.
The Army psychiatrist is recovering in the intensive care unit at San Antonio's Brooke Army Medical Center from the wounds he suffered when police shot him.
Hasan has told his attorney, John Galligan, that he has no feeling in his legs and extreme pain in his hands. Galligan says doctors have told Hasan he may be permanently paralyzed from the waist down.
