An Army appeals court will hear arguments on Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012, in the case of Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage, over whether Maj. Hasan will be required to have his beard shaved before his court-martial. The issue has indefinitely postponed his murder trial. Maj. Hasan argues that the order violates his religious rights.

Osama bin Laden is dead and there hasnÃt been a successful attack by al-Qaida-inspired extremists on U.S. soil since the deadly shooting rampage in Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009. But the danger of terrorism remains a reality for Americans, as seen in the attack in Libya in September that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
