Interpol chief said Wednesday that the Indian government and law enforcement agencies have not shared any information with Interpol about the Mumbai attacks so far.
"To date India's government has not authorized India's police agencies to enter any data relating to the recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai in Interpol's databases," Interpol Secretary General Ronald K.
Noble told a joint news conference with Pakistan's Interior Advisor Rehman Malik.
"An Interpol incident response team had been deployed in India to gather evidence and information to be shared with police databases around the world. Interpol has so far gleaned information only from the media," Noble said.
He said that the Interpol had not received any information that would allow him to comment on the accuracy of media reports about the nationality and identity of the attackers, he said.
It was also 'not acceptable internationally' for information to be put in the media and not placed in police databases, he said.
In the absence of reliable information in police databases, investigators around the world would not be able to determine the identities of the Mumbai attackers or their possible links to terrorist groups in other countries, Noble said.
Noting that Pakistan too had suffered at the hands of terrorists, Noble said the country 'needs international support and not international condemnation at such a critical time'.
Noble also said while Pakistan is willing to cooperate through Interpol to help India, New Delhi would have to decide when and how to 'use' the organization.
