Interpol Database on Terrorists Dramatically Grows

Via UPI.

Interpol said Friday its database on suspected terrorists has increased from 2,800 in 2002 to 11,800 now.

"Our database on suspected terrorists has increased from 2,800 in 2002 to 11,800 at present. We know that terrorists will travel on aliases and we have a database on stolen passports and travel documents," said Ronald Noble, secretary general of Interpol. He was in New Delhi to attend a three-day conference on cybercrime.

Noble said the transfer of funds through illegal channels and electronic routes for financing terrorist attacks worldwide was a difficult area, and member countries would have to work out measures to put an end to this practice. He said it was the most complex area of the investigation to track down people not known as suspected terrorists and companies not linked to terrorism.
