Here is this week's question: Which pop star will sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl on Feb. 4? Good luck!  From the archives Jan. 12, 1995: Qubilah Shabazz, daughter of slain black leader Malcolm X, leaves the federal court building in Minneapolis after being charged with plotting to hire a hit man to kill her father's former rival, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. She pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released without posting bail. Shabazz, who witnessed her father's assassination when she was four years old, and other members of her family harbored suspicions that Farrakhan was involved in the murder. She accepted a plea agreement in May 1995 in which she avoided jail time but was required to undergo psychological counseling and undergo chemical dependency treatment. The indictment was dismissed two years later.
