A Senate investigation into the Fort Hood, Texas, shooting faults the Army and FBI for missing warning signs and failing to exchange information that could have prevented the massacre.

The report concludes that systemic and cultural problems caused military officials to fail to recognize signs that the alleged shooter, Maj. Nidal Hasan, was becoming increasingly radical before the 2009 shooting, which left 13 people dead.

It also concludes that the FBI failed to share information with the Army - notably, e-mails that Hasan exchanged with a "suspected terrorist," a likely reference to Anwar al-Awlaki,

an Islamic cleric well known for his extremist views. The report says the agency might have dismissed such clues to avoid causing "a bureaucratic confrontation."
