NEW YORK (Reuters) - The international police organization Interpol said on Wednesday it is expanding the scope of its global crimefighting to play a more active role in the so-called war on terrorism.



Interpol's international wanted persons notices, known as Red Notices, will now include people charged with being members of a terrorist organization, said Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble.


Before, anyone charged with being a member of a terrorist group had to have other criminal charges made against him to get a Red Notice. The change resulted from a reinterpretation of Interpol's constitution that had forbidden the organization from getting involved in cases of a political, military, religious or racial character.


"In order to fight terrorism effectively, countries must be able to search internationally for members of terrorist organizations before they commit specific acts of terrorism," Noble told the conference at New York police headquarters.

1. This is interesting.

Does the BFEE's grip extend to this organization? If it doesn't, what are the chances they might start arresting US leaders?

5. What a novel idea

have well-trained international police teams who specialize in terrorism investigate and chase down criminals who use terror to commit crimes.

Here I thought the best way to do that was to bomb an entire country or two and kill thousands of civilians who have nothing to do with the criminals, hoping somehow the criminals will get wiped out too.
Why sneak up on them carefully and quietly and within the law when it's so much more satisfying to advertise we are coming after them for months and then send a whole noisy army to illegally invade! That won't send the criminals into even deeper cover at all! And it won't make any young people so angry they will become criminals to avenge their families!
