I don't believe that it was just N.O.I at all, having done a massive amount of research on the topic it seems like a 3 way conspiracy. Malcolm didn't think it was just the N.O.I either, he was having problems and being followed abroad too. He isn't in The Final Call because of jealously the people running it had about his rise and they felt he was out to take Elijah's position and also that he wasn't listening to orders implicitly. There's a lot of evidence that points to it being not just the F.O.I.
Sumtimes fanning flames is enuff when u dealing with religion....I'm sure farakhan may regret some of his harsh words that may have led to malcolm dying...the one dude who admits to doin it doesn't say he wuz told to
The assassins gunned down Malcolm X out of anger at his split with the leadership of the Nation of Islam, the black Muslim movement for which he had once served as a prominent spokesman, said Hagan, then known as Talmadge X Hayer. Malcolm X had spoken out against its leader, Elijah Muhammad, in comments that some of Muhammad's followers denounced as slander.
At the time, "I thought I was fighting for truth and right," Hagan said in a 1977 sworn statement that aimed, unsuccessfully, to get his co-defendants' convictions overturned. Over the years since the assassination, "I've had a lot of time, a heck of a lot of time, to think about it," Hagan told a parole board last month, according to a transcript of the interview.
"I understand a lot better the dynamics of movements and what can happen inside movements, and conflicts that can come up, but I have deep regrets about my participation in that," said Hagan, adding that he had earned a master's degree in sociology since his conviction. He said he was still a Muslim but no longer a Nation of Islam.
