A man who says he was a member of Malcolm X’s security detail the day the civil rights leader was assassinated in 1965 told reporters he saw NYC police officers trying to prevent supporters from restraining a man thought to be involved in the killing.
Mustafa Hassan, who said he used to be a member of the Pan-Africanist organization that Malcolm X founded, made the claim at a news conference in New York. The man being restrained, Hassan said, was Talmadge Hayer – also known as Mujahid Abdul Halim – who was later arrested and convicted in the killing. Hassan told reporters Tuesday he believes there was a conspiracy between the New York City Police Department, the CIA and the FBI in Malcolm X’s assassination.
That’s why we are putting forth in our legal action that the government was involved in the conspiracy to kill Malcolm X,” Crump said. Hassan said he decided to come forward now after seeing online that the family of Malcolm X was seeking a financial settlement with governmental agencies for their alleged actions during the assassination.
