Maldives seek Interpol help to arrest terror suspects
2007-11-11
The Maldives is seeking Interpol’s help to arrest 10 of its nationals, wanted in connection with a bomb blast in the capital Male, who have fled to Pakistan, police said Saturday. The calm of the paradise holiday destination was shattered in September when Islamic radicals set off a home-made bomb, wounding 12 foreign tourists. Police arrested six of 16 Maldivians believed to be linked to the attack, but said another 10 escaped to Pakistan. “The Attorney General’s office has given us the court order and we have now asked Interpol to issue a red notice,” Maldives police spokesman Ahmed Shiyam told AFP in Colombo by telephone. A red notice allows an arrest warrant to be circulated worldwide, with the intent that the person will be extradited, according to Interpol’s website. Shiyam did not say what charges the suspects might face.
