                     Grandson of Malcolm X Killed in Mexico

   Malcolm Shabazz, grandson of U.S. civil rights activist Malcolm X has
   died in a Mexico City hospital after an apparent beating. He was 28.
   Mexican authorities said Shabazz died after suffering multiple injuries
   following a fight Thursday in a bar near Plaza Garibaldi, home to
   Mariachi bands, strip clubs and bars.
   The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City declined to give information on the
   death at the request of his family.
   In June 1997, Malcolm Shabazz, then 12, set a fire at his grandmother
   Betty Shabazz`s home. She died from severe burns, and he served four
   years in juvenile detention.
   Shabazz also served time on a 2002 attempted robbery conviction, and
   was released in 2005. In 2006, he pleaded guilty to criminal mischief
   for smashing the window of a Yonkers doughnut shop.
