Farrakhan claims levee may have been bombed to flood New Orleans

(Washington-AP) Oct. 13, 2005 - Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan says it's up to government to prove that a levee wasn't bombed to flood poor black people out of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

Farrakhan said he's heard that military explosives may have been used to blow a hole in the levee, resulting in what he said would amount to "mass murder."

Farrakhan spoke at a Washington news conference in advance of Saturday's Millions More March on the National Mall.

It comes ten years after the "Million Man March." The event will feature prominent social justice advocates, members of Congress, hip hop artists, civil rights activists, media pundits, academics and business leaders.

Muslim and Christian religious figures also will participate.
