NYPD, FBI Connected to Malcolm X’s Murder, Letter Released by His Family Alleges
Malcolm X’s family members presented a letter from a deceased undercover cop Sunday that alleges the FBI and NYPD were responsible for his assassination.
Former undercover NYPD officer Raymond Wood wrote the letter, which was presented by some of Malcolm X’s daughters and Reggie Wood, the officer’s cousin, the New York Post reported. Three members of a black separatist group were convicted following Malcolm X’s assassination in Harlem, New York, in 1965.
“Under the direction of my handlers, I was told to encourage leaders and members of the civil-rights groups to commit felonious acts,” the letter said, the Post reported.

The drug maker announced in January that its vaccine was 72% effective against the virus in the United States and 64% effective in South Africa, where a mutated, more transmissible strain has become dominant. Its vaccine was 86% effective in preventing severe virus cases in the U.S., meaning that a vaccinated individual is at a far smaller risk of being hospitalized or dying from COVID-19.
The recent FDA analyses mean that a third effective vaccine could become available for Americans, potentially mitigating the widespread supply shortages reported by many states and municipalities. If the FDA emergency authorization process mirrors that of Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines, both approved in December, then Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine could be recommended for appro
