The family of Malcolm X, a civil-rights leader who was assassinated almost 60 years ago, filed a $100-million wrongful death lawsuit on Friday that accuses the FBI, CIA and New York Police Department of allowing his murder to be carried out, Reuters reports. The federal lawsuit brought by Malcolm X's daughter and other family members alleges the law-enforcement agencies concealed evidence that they knew of the plot to kill Malcom X but did nothing to stop it. According to the attorney representing the family, the lawsuit seeks to answer questions surrounding the assassination, paint an accurate history of the events and financially compensate the family.
