His daughter Ilyasah Shabazz accused several federal and New York government organisations of fraudulently concealing evidence.
1:46Malcolm X's family plans to sue the FBI, CIA and New York City police for $100m in damages over the assassination of the US civil rights activist exactly 58 years ago on Tuesday.
His daughter Ilyasah Shabazz has accused several federal and New York government organisations of fraudulently concealing evidence, saying that they"conspired to and executed their plan to assassinate Malcolm X". "For years, our family has fought for the truth to come to light concerning his murder," Ms Shabazz said at a news conference at the site of her father's assassination, now a memorial to Malcolm X.Malcolm X rose to prominence as the national spokesman of the Nation of Islam, an African-American Muslim group that espoused black separatism.
He broke away from the group in 1964 and moderated some of his earlier views on racial separation, which angered Nation of Islam members and resulted in death threats. He was aged 39 when he was shot dead on 21 February 1965 on stage by three gunmen as he prepared to speak at the Audubon Ballroom in Manhattan.
