Pak asks Interpol to help firm up Mumbai attack probe
Islamabad, Mar 8 (PTI) Pakistan has asked the Interpol
to help it obtain information located in seven countries in
connection with the Mumbai terror attacks, Interpol chief
Ronald Noble said here Sunday.
As Pakistan has asked Interpol to help get information
from these countries, the organisation will “deploy teams in
three countries” on Monday and send staff to the other
nations, Noble said.
Noble, who is in Pakistan to update himself on the
Mumbai attack probe, said his organisation will help probe
links to the Mumbai attacks in seven countries, including
India. The other countries are in Europe and the Middle East,
he said without giving details.
The FIA’s probe “thorough and exhaustive
investigation” had uncovered “clear and objective links” in
these seven countries.
Pakistan has shared all the information uncovered
during its probe with Interpol. This information is being
checked against Interpol’s global databases to determine “what
other international links may exist” to the Mumbai attacks,
Noble said in press conference.
Once Interpol receives DNA profiles of suspects from
Pakistan later this week, these will be compared with over
83,000 DNA profiles at a database in the organisation’s
headquarters. However, the process can be complete only when
India sends DNA profiles of its suspects to
Interpol, he said.
“For the (Pakistani) case to be linked to the Mumbai
attacks, you need to take these DNA profiles and link them to
the actual physical material and evidence seized by Indian
authorities in order to prosecute the people that have been
detained in Pakistan,” Noble said.
He reiterated that Interpol had not received any
“police or investigative information” on the attacks from the
Indian government or law enforcement agencies. However, he
said Interpol functions on voluntary cooperation and cannot
force anyone to work with it.
Giving details of the FIA’s probe, Noble said it had
uncovered financing links and the “sophisticated use of
internet protocols and emails”. It also uncovered information
on those who planned, facilitated and funded attacks,
telephone numbers and bank accounts used in terrorist
financing. PTI RHL
