Joint U.S.-European Crackdown on Internet Kiddie Porn

An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

Police in Europe and the United States have searched 150 homes in a dozen countries in a coordinated crackdown on Internet pedophilia and child pornography, Europol announced.

The pan-European police body did not say if any arrests were carried out Wednesday, but in the Netherlands alone police said they had seized dozens of computer hard drives, digital cameras, CD-Roms and data storage devices from 21 homes.

Codenamed "Baleno," the operation was initiated by Dutch police, who have supplied information to 76 countries around the world. In Europe, the investigation was coordinated by Europol, and in the United States by the FBI.
