Interpol to help procure details of Mumbai terrorists

As the UPA government closely co-ordinates with international security agencies in the probe of 26/11 attacks on Mumbai, Interpol Secretary General Ronald K Noble today met Union Home Minister P Chidambaram and promised all help to secure details of the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks.    

The Interpol chief has informed India that the names, fingerprints, DNA profiles and photographs and other details of the terrorists who were killed or captured would be compared with Interpol's global databases and appropriately disseminated to each and every one of its 186 member countries, Home Ministry sources said.

Interpol has also offered to issue Black Notices (for deceased persons) and Blue Notices (to obtain additional information) for the 10 terrorists involved in the attacks. These notices will allow investigators to seek formal and structured assistance from Interpol member countries .

"India and its CBI have much experience in using Interpol tools and services to track down terrorist fugitives and so India understands that it cannot be expected to find the answers to this incident without the support of the global law enforcement community, and we will help ensure that this happens," Noble said in a release after meeting the CBi chief Ashwini Kumar.
