Army Maj. Nidal M. Hasan's anger was building.

He felt stuck in the Army, and family members said the military wouldn't let him out.

He disagreed with American policy in Iraq and Afghanistan, telling colleagues that the war against terror was a war against Muslims and that his religion came first.

He was a stranger to those with whom he prayed daily.

And even those who liked Hasan and saw him every day viewed him as an odd recluse who was often standoffish. They didn't know him very well and are trying to understand how he could be the man authorities think shot dozens of people at Fort Hood in Texas on Thursday in a rampage that has left 13 dead.
