Family of Malcolm X to sue CIA, FBI for activist’s assassination
Daughter of late civil rights activist Malcolm X, Ilyasah Shabazz, has moved to sue security institutions in the United States for their widely believed complicity in the assassination of her father 58 years ago.
Malcolm X was murdered on February 21, 1965 by three armed before he delivered his speech at a Harlem auditorium.
At the site where her father was shot dead, Ms Shabazz announced that she was bringing a lawsuit against the FBI, CIA, and the New York City Police Department for the murder. According to her, American officials had falsely withheld proof that they had “conspired to and executed their plan to assassinate” her father.
“For years, our family has fought for the truth to come to light concerning his murder,” she said on Tuesday.
Ms Shabazz, now 60, was two years old when she saw witnessed her father’s death.
