Malcolm X's family says officer made deathbed confession that NYPD, FBI conspired to assassinate activist
Fox News
Members of Malcolm X’s family have come forth saying that a police officer made a death-bed confession, allegedly admitting that the New York Police Department and the FBI conspired to assassinate the civil rights icon in 1965.
This prevented the security men from being there to protect Malcolm X, and was a ploy by the NYPD and FBI to have him killed, the letter said, fueling skepticism by scholars who have purported that three members of the Nation of Islam – a group Malcolm X had been a leader of -- were responsible for his murder. "Under the direction of my handlers, I was told to encourage leaders and members of the civil rights groups to commit felonious acts," Wood’s letter stated.More Related News
