Narrative
As-of analysis
Situation at a glance
Donald Trump approved a firing-squad execution for Nidal Malik Hasan in the Event dated October 5; the October 6 Story, “Trump approves firing-squad execution of terrorist,” is linked to that Event, whose title names Hasan. On October 7, the Story “Trump approves firing-squad execution for Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan” names Hasan; its linked Event describes the Pentagon scheduling an execution and identifies an unnamed death-row inmate as the target. The supplied connection classifies the October 6 and October 7 Stories as the same incident, although their linked Events have different target descriptions and categories.
Footnotes[3][2][1][4][9]Assessment
The Events describe distinct reported stages: the October 5 Event describes Trump approving a firing-squad execution for Nidal Malik Hasan, and the October 7 Event describes the Pentagon scheduling an execution. The October 7 Story names Hasan, while its linked Event does not identify its target by name; the connection joins the Stories as the same incident without eliminating that difference. Neither Event states that the execution occurred, and the October 7 Event describes an execution scheduled. [Citations identify the Events, Story and connection.]

A retained time step
This edition freezes the complete served membership and analysis available through its UTC cutoff. Later repairs or identity changes do not rewrite what this edition showed.
Stories, Events, and cast
Stories are reporting clusters. Events are coded occurrences within that reporting. The cast contains 20 canonical people and organizations linked to the retained evidence.
Typed connections
Story-to-Event edges identify supporting reporting. Entity-to-Event edges identify recorded actor or target participation. Mentions and analytical roles stay visibly distinct from recorded participation.
Core, precursor, and continuation labels organize the reading. They do not by themselves establish causation. Collapsed graph groups and paginated evidence change presentation only; counts use the complete retained edition.
