Two of the three men convicted in the assassination of Malcolm X are set to be cleared on Thursday after insisting on their innocence since the 1965 killing of one of the United States' most formidable fighters for civil rights, their lawyers and Manhattan's top prosecutor said Wednesday.A nearly two-year-long re-investigation found that authorities withheld evidence favourable to the defence in the trial of Muhammad Aziz, now 83, and the late Khalil Islam, said their attorneys, the Innocence Project and civil rights lawyer David Shanies.Mr Aziz called his conviction "the result of a process that was corrupt to its core — one that is all too familiar" even today.
