Interpol issues global alert

PAKISTAN has asked Interpol to issue a global alert for 13 suspects wanted for the attacks in Mumbai of November 2008, the international police agency said in Lyon, France, yesterday.

Member states are asked to help locate the fugitives and notify Pakistan which will issue arrest warrants and seek their extradition.

“The authorities in Pakistan are to be commended for making full use of Interpol’s global network and tools,” said Interpol secretary general Ron Noble.

“This demonstrates their commitment to allowing all of Interpol’s 187 member-countries to benefit from and help with the investigation.”

The 13 suspects were not named but Interpol said their names and other information will be included in Interpol’s databases and circulated worldwide.
