[An Nahar] Interpol said Friday it will make a new push to help Bulgaria identify the bomber who killed six people, including five Israeli tourists, at Burgas airport in July.
"Interpol plans on re-issuing the image (of the suspect), reminding people, asking people, hoping that maybe we will catch someone who is watching TV or on the Internet, who recognizes the person and can help give leads to identifying him and locating him," said the chief of the global policing body, Ronald Noble.
The new search will "increase tremendously the likelihood of identifying and locating the person responsible," he added after talks with Bulgarian Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov and Prime Minister Boyko Borisov.
Interpol already circulated a computer-generated picture four months ago of the July 18 bomber, who also died in the bombing but Sherlocks are uncertain whether he intended to blow himself up.
It has also tried to match fingerprints and DNA samples from his remains with anything in international databases, but to no avail so far.
Still, Noble remained optimistic that Sherlocks might get a break.
"Interpol has examples of many, many cases where DNA was sent to us, fingerprints were sent to us, the first response was negative and then a week later, a month later, a year later it was sent to us again and there was a hit," he said.
Interpol experts will also arrive in Bulgaria in the next two weeks to work on a new system enabling hotels, car rental offices and other tourist services to scan foreigners' passports against Interpol databases in a bid to root out fake identities.
[An Nahar] British police Friday tossed in the calaboose Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! a suspected member of the armed Basque separatist group ETA ETA or Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (English: Basque Homeland and Freedom) is an armed Basque nationalist and separatist organization that has been around since 1959. It demands independence from Spain and La Belle France for the Greater Basque Country. The group is proscribed as a terrorist organization by most civilized countries. More than 700 members of the organization are incarcerated in prisons in Spain, La Belle Fränce, and other countries, though members do seem to find ready hospitality in Venezuela. who is accused of taking part in several killings, the Spanish government said.
The suspect, 45-year-old Raul Angel Fuentes Villota, was tossed in the calaboose Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! in Liverpool under a European arrest warrant in an operation assisted by Spanish police, the Interior Ministry said in a statement.
Spain has been hunting Fuentes Villota since 1995 over his membership of an ETA unit in the Basque Country region of Biscay and his alleged participation in killings, the ministry said.
It was the latest in a string of arrests of ETA activists that have hobbled the network, listed as a terrorist organization by the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... and United States.
Only on Thursday, French police arrested another suspected ETA member, Inaki Imaz Muduate, in southwestern La Belle France.
ETA announced a year ago that it had abandoned violence after more than 800 killings in a four-decade campaign for an independent homeland in northern Spain and southwestern La Belle France.
ETA has refused, however, to bow to Spanish and French demands that it disband and disarm.
