A Muslim leader says the Army psychiatrist suspected of going on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood asked him for advice on what he should tell soldiers who had concerns about going to fight Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Osman Danquah is the co-founder of the Islamic Community of Greater Killeen. He says he had a bad feeling about Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan after the two talked twice in late summer.

He told The Associated Press on Saturday that Hasan regularly
attended services at the mosque in his uniform.

Danquah says Hasan never mentioned any anger toward the Army or
indicated any plans for violence but seemed incoherent during their
second conversation.

Danquah says he told Hasan that there was "something wrong with
you."
