WASHINGTON (November 6, 2009)—Suspected Fort Hood gunman Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan participated in homeland security conferences in 2008 and 2009 at George Washington University while based in the Washington area.

Most recently, Hasan was listed as an attendee in January for a conference on new security priorities for the Obama administration.

Frank Cilluffo, director of the university's Homeland Security Policy Institute, said Hasan was never affiliated with the school.

He attended sessions as a disaster and preventive psychiatry fellow at the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine.

Cilluffo said he remembers Hasan wore Army fatigues to conferences, which seemed odd at the time.

Cilluffo said he remembers cutting Hasan off once for rambling, although he doesn't remember the subject.
