India not want Pakistan to get insight into its intelligence through Interpol

NEW DELHI, (chinaview.cn) India is reluctant to provide further evidence to Interpol on Mumbai terror attacks fearing it might result in Pakistan gaining insight into its intelligence operations, a senior government official said on Monday.



\"India doesn\'t want Pakistan to gain knowledge of its intelligence operations,\" the official said, on condition of anonymity.



India has already shared evidence of the Mumbai terror attacks last November with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) through a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with the United States.



\"The country is not bound to share any information on the attacks to Interpol until it feels necessary,\" the official said.



Pakistan has reportedly rejected an offer of assistance from the FBI.



Interpol officials have praised Pakistan\'s efforts to find the plotters but chided India for not sharing the information with them.



\"India has shared information with the FBI, they have kept Interpol largely out of the loop. So far, we have received no information from the government of India or any (Indian) police organization,\" Interpol official Noble told the media Sunday in Islamabad.



The France-based international police organization has also announced an agreement with Pakistan to aid an investigation into the masterminds behind the Mumbai attacks.



Islamabad has admitted that part of the Mumbai terr plot was hatched on Pakistani soil, but called on India to provide more information about the attacks.



Pakistan has also pledged to provide Interpol with DNA evidence that was recovered, which will be cross-referenced against its global database of 83,000 DNA profiles.



Local news media reported that the evidence included samples from relatives of various Pakistani suspects, including of Ajmal Amir Kasab, the only suspected assailant in custody.



But Noble had said that \"in order for these comparisons to be completed, India will be required to send Interpol the DNA profiles that they obtained in their investigation.\"
