 Shabazz   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
But the recent federal indictment in Minneapolis of Qubilah Shabazz, a daughter of Malcolm X, for allegedly plotting the assassination of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan seems to indicate the spirit of J. Edgar Hoover is alive and well at the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Prosecutors say Fitzpatrick tipped off the FBI after Shabazz allegedly let him in on her desire to kill Farrakhan, a man suspected of having been involved in her father's assassination in a fusillade of bullets on February 21, 1965 in Harlem's Audubon Ballroom.
Among those who suspect Farrakhan's involvement is Betty Shabazz, who told reporters last year of her suspicion and added that it was "common knowledge." Her comments led to an article in the New York Post accusing Farrakhan of planning the assassination, prompting a multi-billion dollar libel lawsuit by the Nation of Islam against the Post.
