INTERPOL Secretary General Jürgen Stock praised the steps taken by President Maithripala Sirisena, the Ministry of Defence, Sri Lanka Police and intelligence services for swiftly taking action to apprehend the criminals who were responsible for the Easter Sunday terrorist attacks.

He presented President Sirisena with the INTERPOL Medal at the President’s Office in Colombo today.

The President thanked INTERPOL Secretary-General for immediately responding to the request made for assistance to investigate the April 21 explosions by terrorists.

Mr Stock said that his organisation had sent a team of experts to Colombo within two days of the attack to provide intelligence expert guidance and database information on terrorists. The INTERPOL maintains a database and intelligence services could access these data through INTERPOL Asia office in Singapore.

Mr.Stock said that Sri Lanka police and intelligence officials are highly professional and the INTERPOL experts received their fullest cooperation.

President Sirisena thanked the INTERPOL for the assistance given to Sri Lanka for fighting criminals. He wanted further cooperation to detect drug smugglers and to extradite drug lords and the financial criminals hiding in foreign countries.

INTERPOL Secretary General assured the President his fullest cooperation. He said a new agreement could be reached to provide new drug-tracking police tools and expertise to law enforcement officials to identify the origin and routes of compressed drug deliveries and shipments through an automated comparative analysis of the tool-marks, logos and chemical compositions of drug packages.

It is sad that such an expert as Jürgen Stock did not realize that this lunatic of President is guilty that so many people have died.

Interpol is fooling third world countries, it only functions as a “Library” where you can get all historical informations about crimes and criminals, and as a “Post Office” where it passes on arrest requests to other countries and uses its own noticeboard for this purpose. Apart from these it has no powers of the Police at all.

How about another medal for removing the emergency law and the arrested terrorists?
