The U.S President Barack Obama has said that no faith justifies last week's killings of 13 people at an army base in Texas. Mr. Obama's comments came in an address to a memorial service for the victims of the Fort Hood shootings after he met relatives of those who died. Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who is accused of carrying out the massacre, was shot by police and remains in hospital.<br/><br/> Mr. Obama said mourners had come to pay tribute to 13 men and women who were not able to escape the horror of war. He said the fact that the victims died on American soil made it even more painful and even more incomprehensible.<br/><br/>Those who attended the service were Army Chief of Staff George Casey, Defence Secretary Robert Gates, Adm Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Texas Governor Rick Perry.<br/><br/>Maj Hasan is recovering from gunshot wounds at a military hospital and will be charged in a military court over last Thursday's shootings – he has declined to be interviewed by investigators.
