CAIR said its Ohio director, Romin Iqbal, had admitted to working with the Investigative Project on Terrorism , a self-described "data center on radical Islamist terrorist groups," when confronted with the evidence of his misconduct. In November, the specialist reported to CAIR that Iqbal had been sharing information, "including surreptitiously recorded conversations, strategic plans, and private emails," with the IPT, according to CAIR.
