Interpol chief meets Indian Home Minister

New Delhi, Dec 20 (PTI) Interpol Secretary General Ronald
K Noble Saturday met India's Home Minister P Chidambaram and
promised all help to secure details of the perpetrators of the
Mumbai terror attacks.

During their 20 minute meeting, Noble said the details of
the terrorists who were killed or captured, including their
names, fingerprints, DNA profiles and photographs, were
compared with Interpol's global databases and appropriately
disseminated to each and every one of its 186 member
countries, Home Ministry sources said.

Interpol 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, they
said.

In addition to the ongoing support to the probe, Interpol
is offering to extend access to its global databases beyond
the Interpol National Central Bureau here to include police,
immigration, border-control units and other law enforcement
authorities, thus enabling officers to conduct real-time
checks of databases on wanted persons, stolen and lost travel
documents and other critical information related to terrorism.

Noble also met CBI Director Ashwani Kumar Friday.

"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. PTI SAP
