Three daughters of civil rights leader Malcolm X have filed a $100 million lawsuit accusing the CIA, FBI, the New York Police Department, and others of involvement in his 1965 assassination. The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court, alleges that these agencies were aware of and participated in the assassination plot but failed to prevent it.
The family's attorney described the lawsuit at a news conference, expressing hope that officials would acknowledge the historical injustices and take steps to address them. The NYPD, CIA, and Department of Justice declined to comment, citing standard practice not to discuss ongoing litigation.
