Hoekstra to launch investigation into Fort Hood shooting, dubs it 'homegrown jihadism'

[ccharles000]

A key Republican lawmaker on Monday asked that the Obama administration keep documents relevant to the Fort Hood shooting available so Congress can continue its investigation into what he called an incident of "homegrown jihadism."

Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, sent a preservation order to the heads of the FBI, CIA, NSA and Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair directing them to keep the documents as part of his committee's review of the attacks that killed 13 and wounded 30.

In a release, Hoekstra accused the administration of dragging its feet in releasing items pertaining to the attacks that could prove the perpetrator, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, had ties to terrorists.

"The horrific shootings at Fort Hood are a tragic reminder of the potential deadly consequences of the threat posed by homegrown jihadism and the failure of the government to adequately respond to it," he said.
