围绕马尔科姆·Ⅹ之死的新指控出现在纽约市警察局一名前警官写在他死亡床上的一封信中。
2011年1月25日，在马尔科姆·Ⅹ去世当天担任卧底警察的雷·伍德写了一封信，信中他承认自己“参与了事后看来令人遗憾的、不利于我自己黑人进步的行动”
伍德在美国广播公司新闻获得的一封信中写道，当伍德在1964年被NYPD雇佣时，他的工作是“渗透民权组织”，寻找犯罪活动的证据，这样联邦调查局就可以怀疑这些人并逮捕其领导人。
伍德写道，在他1965年遇刺的前几天，伍德的经纪人策划逮捕了两名马尔科姆·Ⅹ“关键”安全小组成员，密谋炸毁自由女神像。该阴谋涉及一个黑人“恐怖组织”的三名成员和一名加拿大妇女，他们计划炸毁自由女神像、自由钟和华盛顿纪念碑纽约时报报道于1965年2月16日。
伍德写道:“我的任务是将这两个人引入联邦重罪，这样他们就可以被联邦调查局逮捕，并在1965年2月21日远离马尔科姆·Ⅹ的大门安全管理。”。"...当时我不知道马尔科姆·Ⅹ是目标。”
1965年2月21日，马尔科姆·Ⅹ在曼哈顿的奥杜邦舞厅向美国黑人团结组织发表演讲时被暗杀。伊斯兰民族的三名成员被判犯有谋杀罪。
伍德在信中声称，“他代表纽约市警察局(BOSSI)采取的行动是在胁迫和恐惧下进行的”，并补充说，如果他不遵守其管理人员的命令，他可能会面临“不利后果”。
他写道:“在目睹同事(警察)一再施暴后，我试图辞职。”。“相反，如果我不完成任务，我会受到逮捕的威胁，因为我被指控贩卖大麻和酒精。”
伍德写道，当他面临健康问题时，他担心被判杀害马尔科姆·Ⅹ的人之一托马斯·约翰逊的家人在伍德死后无法为他开脱。伍德写道，在马尔科姆·Ⅹ被杀当晚，约翰逊在奥杜邦舞厅被捕，以保护伍德的身份以及“联邦调查局和NYPD的秘密”。
伍德把他的全部供词交给了他的堂兄小雷金纳德·伍德保管，并要求将这些资料保存到他死后。
伍德写道:“我希望收到这些信息时，能够理解我怀着沉重的心情保守着这些秘密，并对我参与此事深感遗憾。”。
伍德的表弟写了本月早些时候出版的《雷·伍德故事》，他在《早安美国》中把伍德描述为“一个被欺骗并被迫背叛自己人民的好人。”
“他为此感到不适和悔恨，”雷吉·伍德说。
去年，纽约市地方检察官办公室发起另一项调查马尔科姆·Ⅹ的死和那些在纪录片《谁杀了马尔科姆·Ⅹ》之后被定罪的人在网飞播出。
作为对美国广播公司新闻调查的回应，曼哈顿地区检察官办公室表示，“我们办公室对此事的审查是积极和持续的。”
NYPD的女发言人杰西卡·麦克罗伊中士在一份声明中说，NYPD已经向地区检察官办公室提供了“所有与该案件相关的可用记录”。
美国联邦调查局没有回应美国广播公司新闻的置评请求。
民权律师本杰明·克伦普称对马尔科姆·Ⅹ之死的审查是恢复性司法。
克伦普告诉《GMA》，“这是我们弥合这一鸿沟的唯一途径。”“我们必须要有透明度，要有责任感，这是我们唯一能信任的方式。”
全国有色人种协进会(NAACP)主席兼首席执行官德里克·约翰逊(Derrick Johnson)告诉《GMA》，“太多挺身而出、在这个国家呼吁平等和正义的非裔美国人发现自己受到了迫害、起诉，或者在马尔科姆·Ⅹ被暗杀。”
New claims surrounding Malcolm X assassination surface in letter written on former NYPD officer’s death bed
New allegations surrounding the death of Malcolm X have surfaced in a letter written by a former New York City Police Department officer on his death bed.
On Jan. 25, 2011, Ray Wood, who was serving as an undercover police officer on the day of Malcolm X's death, wrote a letter in which he admitted he "participated in actions that in hindsight were deplorable and detrimental to the advancement of my own black people."
When Wood was hired by the NYPD in 1964, his job was to "infiltrate civil rights organizations" to find evidence of criminal activity so the FBI could discredit the subjects and arrest its leaders, Wood wrote in the letter obtained by ABC News.
Wood's handler devised the arrest of two of Malcolm X's "key" security detail members in a plot to bomb the Statue of Liberty days before his 1965 assassination, Wood wrote. The plot involved three members of a Black "terrorist group" and a Canadian woman who were planning to dynamite the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell and the Washington Monument, the New York Times reported on Feb. 16, 1965.
"It was my assignment to draw the two men into a felonious federal crime, so that they could be arrested by the FBI and kept away from managing Malcolm X's door security on February 21, 1965," Wood wrote. "... At that time I was not aware that Malcolm X was the target."
Malcolm X was assassinated in Manhattan's Audubon Ballroom while addressing the Organization of Afro-American Unity on Feb. 21, 1965. Three members of the Nation of Islam were convicted of his murder.
Wood alleged in the letter that "his actions on behalf of the New York City Police Department (BOSSI) were done under duress and fear," adding that he could have faced "detrimental consequences" if he did not follow the orders of his handlers.
"After witnessing repeated brutality at the hands of my coworkers (Police), I tried to resign," he wrote. "Instead I was threatened with arrest by pinning marijuana and alcohol trafficking charges on me if I did not follow through with the assignments."
Wood wrote that, as he faced failing health, he was concerned that the family of Thomas Johnson, one of the men convicted of killing Malcolm X, would not be able to exonerate him after Wood died. Johnson was arrested at the Audubon Ballroom the night Malcolm X was killed to protect Wood's cover and "the secrets of the FBI and NYPD," Wood wrote.
Wood placed his full confession into the care of his cousin, Reginald Wood Jr., and requested that the information be held until after his death.
"It is my hope that this information is received with the understanding that I have carried these secrets with a heavy heart and remorsefully regret my participation in this matter," Wood wrote.
Wood's cousin, who wrote the book "The Ray Wood Story," published earlier this month, described Wood to "Good Morning America" as a "good man that was tricked and forced to betray his own people."
"And he felt ill and remorse for that," Reggie Wood said.
Last year, the New York City district attorney's office launched another investigation into Malcolm X's death and those convicted after the documentary "Who Killed Malcolm X?" aired on Netflix.
In response to an ABC News inquiry, the Manhattan District Attorney's office stated, "Our office's review of this matter is active and ongoing."
NYPD spokeswoman Sgt. Jessica McRorie said in a statement that the NYPD has provided "all available records relevant to that case" to the district attorney's office.
The FBI did not respond to ABC News' request for comment.
Civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump described the review into Malcolm X's death as restorative justice.
"This is the only way we can bridge this divide," Crump told "GMA." "We have to have transparency, present accountability, and that's the only way we'll ever get to trust."
Derrick Johnson, president and CEO of the NAACP, told "GMA" that "far too many African Americans who have stood up, who voice equality and justice in this country, have found themselves being persecuted, prosecuted or, in the case of Malcolm X, assassinated."
