WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) - The Pentagon said on Tuesday it agreed to provide some, but not all, information sought in a congressional probe of last year's shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, that left 13 soldiers dead and an Army psychiatrist charged with murder.

In response to subpoenas from the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell said the Defense Department would provide lawmakers with the personnel file of Major Nidal Malik Hasan who has been charged in the shooting, but would not give them access to potential witnesses and internal investigative reports.

"We have made movement on some of the areas that we had originally objected to but we have held the line on those that we feel could potentially jeopardize the prosecution of Major Hasan," Morrell told reporters at the Pentagon.

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, an independent, and Susan Collins, the panel's top Republican, issued their subpoenas last week after the departments of Justice and Defense failed to provide the materials.

4. There has been no trial yet

so giving them access to potential witnesses and internal investigative reports could jeopardize the trial and violate Hasan's right to a fair trial.
