Robert I. Friedman (November 29, 1950 – July 2, 2002) was an American investigative journalist.
In 1993, Friedman castigated the FBI for ignoring information it had developed on the Muslim extremists behind the first bombing of the World Trade Center.[1] The report earned him a Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Award for Best Investigative Reporting in a Weekly.[1]
His reporting resulted in Friedman receiving death threats throughout his career. The FBI at one point informed him that Russian organized crime boss Semion Mogilevich had put a contract out on his life.[4]
Robert I. Friedman died on July 2, 2002 at the age of 51 as the result of a rare disease he contracted while in India working on a story about human trafficking and sexual slavery.[5]
