We cannot nab dawood, says Interpol

Mumbai, Feb 26 (UNI) Interpol general secretary Ronald K Noble today admitted that the international police organization cannot nab global terrorist Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar since Interpol cannot dictate terms to any country.

It is for the country, where Dawood is currently residing, to take the initiative and help in nabbing the underworld don, he said.

Mr Noble is here in Mumbai to participate in the two-day second CII annual global forum on Innovation, Creativity and Intellectual Property.

Talking to newspersons on the sidelines of the meet, Mr Noble said, ''We cannot dictate terms to any specific country. Each and every Interpol member country should take the initiative to prosecute the accused in their country itself or should expedite the extradition of the accused.'' To a query, Mr Noble agreed that Dawood Ibrahim was in Pakistan, but it was for Pakistan to come forward to help in nabbing him.

The terrorists problem, he pointed out, can be effectively tackled at the diplomatic level.
