LYON, France, July 4 (AFP) - The international police agency
Interpol is to equip investigators in Africa with computer links for
internet access amid fears that the continent's high-tech criminals
have stolen a march on law enforcement.
"We cannot accept criminals in the African region having better
access to technology than the police," Interpol secretary general
Ronald Noble said in a statement released at the agency's
headquarters in Lyon, France.
"We will donate computer hardware to all those African national
Interpol offices who can make appropriate arrangements for internet
access with a local Internet service provider," he added.
Noble called on computer and software firms to come forward to
sponsor the initiative, which would give computer links to the
two-thirds of the agency's 53 African offices which are still not
on-line.
