New York: The family of murdered civil rights activist Malcolm X announced plans to sue various organisations, including the CIA, FBI, the New York Police Department, and others, for $100 million on Tuesday, the anniversary of his assassination, accusing them of being involved in his death.

Attorney Ben Crump joined two of his daughters, Ilyasah Shabazz and Qubilah Shabazz, at a press conference at the former Audubon Ballroom in upper Manhattan, where Malcolm X was fatally shot on February 21, 1965, as a crowd gathered to hear him speak. Who killed him has been a subject of discussion for many years.

Three men were found guilty, but in 2021, two of them were found innocent after a new investigation into the cases against them revealed that the evidence used to support the convictions was suspect and that the government had withheld some information.

The first step in the procedure is filing notices of claim, and Ilyasah Shabazz, the co-administrator of her father's estate, did that. She claimed that the agencies "conspired with each other and with other individuals and acted, and failed to act, in such a way as to bring about the wrongful death of Malcolm X."

She said at the news conference, "Our family has fought for the truth to come to light for years. "We want our father to receive justice,"

The CIA, FBI, Department of Justice, and New York City's legal division all received emails requesting comment. The NYPD opted not to respond.
When mentioning the anniversary, Crump stated that "there has been speculation as to who was involved in the assassination of Malcolm X" ever since.

The Manhattan district attorney, the NYPD, and the FBI, he claimed, "had factual evidence, exculpatory evidence that they fraudulently concealed from the men who were wrongfully convicted for the assassination of Malcolm X," citing the 2021 exonerations.

When asked if he thought government agencies had planned to kill Malcolm, Crump responded, "Yes, that is what we are alleging. Numerous civil rights organisations were compromised by them.
