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.

The lawsuit alleges there was a "corrupt" relationship between law enforcement and "ruthless killers that went unchecked for many years"{ai:summary}<p>Three daughters of Malcolm X have filed a $100 million lawsuit against the CIA, FBI, and NYPD, alleging their involvement in the civil rights leader's 1965 assassination.
