Interpol offers team to help London investigators

Interpol today said it had offered to send a team to London to help investigators probing the series of explosions that rocked the public transport system.

The Lyon, France-based international police agency said the response team was on standby, and added that staff were combing through databases to search whether the blasts might have links to other terrorist acts around the world.

In a statement, Interpol called the blasts “terrorist bomb attacks.” Secretary General Ronald Noble said Interpol had made all its resources available to British authorities.

“An attack in one country is an attack on all, and the emergency and police response must be international,” he said.
