Malcolm X's Family Sues U.S. Agencies Over 1965 Assassination

The lawsuit accuses the CIA, FBI, and NYPD of conspiracy and cover-up in the civil rights leader's murder.

The daughters of Malcolm X have filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court against the CIA, FBI, and NYPD, alleging their involvement in his 1965 assassination.
The family claims these agencies knew of threats and plans to kill Malcolm X but failed to act, effectively allowing the murder to happen.
The lawsuit seeks $100 million in damages, citing a long-standing cover-up and suppression of critical evidence by the authorities.
Recent investigations led to the exoneration of two men previously convicted for the murder, highlighting potential miscarriages of justice.
Malcolm X's family aims to uncover the truth about his death and achieve justice for the civil rights leader nearly six decades later.
