"In 2010, Shabazz made the Hajj to Mecca."From "Live from Saudi Arabia: an interview with El Hajj Malcolm Shabazz" in San Francisco's "BayView - National Black Newspaper"
"Approximately four and half decades later, his grandson, Malcolm Shabazz, who is also Muslim, working in the service of oppressed people, made his pilgrimage."So whether or not "robbery" was the reason for his death, the more important question is what was the reason for his presence in Mexico City. Surely his "service {to} to oppressed people" did not include the Aztec and Spanish colonial tourist attractions of that city.

From "Islamic Plot to Bomb U.S. Embassy Reported in Mexico {City}" in "Borderland Beat:"
"The items included a cardboard cylindrical container that held 22.7 kilograms of high explosives. It was sealed in paraffin wax along with two kinds of copper wrapped in plastic. Navy agents also found four multi-channel radios, a frequency analyzer, a liter of nitric acid, six liters of pure glycerin, a plastic bag containing detonating cords and a kilogram of aluminum. Nearby was a copy of the Koran and a Muslim prayer rug. The report quoted by the news media said police seized identification papers from a Somali man called Ahmed who was using the name Arturo Hernandez Hernandez. Papers he carried bore the logo of the Islamic extremist group Al Shabaab, the news reports said. He entered Mexico from Guatemala."The question should be: What was this radical Black Muslim doing in Mexico City and what non-American Muslims did he make contact with?"If the media reports are true, they appear to verify recent statements at congressional hearings by Homeland Security Department officials who said Islamic terrorists might be using Mexico as a back door for attacks against the United States."
