NEW YORK – Three daughters of Malcolm X accused the CIA, FBI, 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 federal court in Manhattan, the daughters—along with Malcolm X’s estate—claimed that the agencies knew about and were involved in the assassination plot and failed to stop the killing.

At a morning press conference, attorney Ben Crump stood with family members as he described the lawsuit, saying he hoped federal and city officials would read it “and find out all the dastardly things that were done by their predecessors and they will try to right these historical wrongs. “

The NYPD and CIA did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Nicholas Biase, a spokesman for the Justice Department, which was also sued, declined to comment. The FBI said in an email that its “standard practice” is not to comment on litigation.
