Malcolm X's daughters sue the CIA, FBI and NYPD for $100M over his 1965 assassination

The lawsuit alleges that there was a 'corrupt, unlawful, and unconstitutional' relationship between law enforcement and 'ruthless killers that went unchecked for many years'

NEW YORK — Three daughters of Malcolm X have accused the CIA, FBI, the New York Police Department and others in a $100 million lawsuit Friday of playing roles in the 1965 assassination of the civil rights leader.

In the lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court, the daughters — along with the Malcolm X estate — claimed that the agencies were aware of and were involved in the assassination plot and failed to stop the killing.
