Indians yet to share EVIDENCE

• Agency chief says information given to media should be shared if accurate
  
• Says Pakistan most proactive associate of Interpol
  

ISLAMABAD: India has neither shared information about the Mumbai terrorist attacks with the Interpol so far nor asked the agency for assistance in the ongoing probe, Interpol Secretary General Ronald K Noble said on Tuesday.

He was addressing a news conference after a meeting with Interior Adviser Rehman Malik in Islamabad.

"The information Interpol has is the same information that you have. It's information that we've read in journals, that we've read on the Internet or that we've seen on TV," he said. "We can't enter newspaper information in our police databases, we can only enter information that we receive from police authorities."

He expressed satisfaction over the measures taken by Pakistan following Mumbai attacks, adding no other country had co-operated more with the Interpol than Pakistan. "Pakistan is the most proactive associate of Interpol."

Rehman Malik said Pakistan was prepared to co-operate with India "but they have to bring us credible evidence".

The interior adviser said National Database and Registration Authority records do not include a citizen named Ajmal Kasab. A letter from the man to Pakistan "has been handed over to legal experts for thorough examination and details in this regard will be issued by today or tomorrow", Malik said.

During the meeting, Pakistani authorities considered Interpol's offer to install by 2009 a system known as MIND/FIND, which enables immigration officials to carry out direct screening of passports and identity documents on a real-time basis against Interpol's global database of more than 16 million stolen and lost travel documents.
