Malcolm X Family Sues FBI, CIA, NYPD

News summary

The family of Malcolm X has filed a $100 million lawsuit against the FBI, CIA, and NYPD, accusing them of involvement in the civil rights leader's 1965 assassination and subsequent cover-up. The lawsuit, spearheaded by his daughter Ilyasah Shabazz and civil rights attorney Ben Crump, alleges that government agencies had prior knowledge of the assassination plot and failed to intervene. It claims that the NYPD removed Malcolm X's security detail shortly before his murder and that federal agents present at the scene did not act to prevent it. The family seeks reparations and answers regarding the government's role in the assassination, which has been shrouded in speculation for decades. The lawsuit asserts that the actions of these agencies led to immense suffering for Malcolm X's family and deprived them of justice. The FBI has declined to comment on the pending litigation, while other agencies have not responded to requests for comment.
