| #1 I heard a report last night on the BBC which pointed out the fact that out of all the bombings in Bangladesh in the past few years none have been solved. The report basically made the Bangladeshi police look like idiots. I didn't know that Interpol actually investigated crimes in countries...I thought they just tracked, arrested & extradited international criminals with international arrest warrants. I thought they specialized in going after criminals that have left the country where the original offense took place and that they don't actually do any investigating or actual police work. They just go after people that their signatory countries' have already got cases against (i.e. indicted criminals, escaped convicts, bail jumpers, parole &/or probation elopees, people with arrest warrants, etc.) And of course they only go after serious criminals. And they are only given a criminal's bio & info if they're suspected to be in a 3rd country, or transitting through 3rd countries. I guess they do have an investigative branch that helps overwhelmed signatories with difficult tasks/investigations/cases, etc. But basically they're the U.S. Marshalls of the world. |
