LYON, France (NNN-QNA) -- Interpol has issued an arrest warrant for Iraq's vice-president, Tariq al-Hashemi, on suspicion of guiding and financing terrorist attacks in Iraq.
The so-called 'red notice' for Hashemi represents a regional and international alert to all of Interpol's 190-member countries, and was issued at the request of the Iraqi authorities.
Interpol's efforts follow the issuance of a national arrest warrant by Iraq’s Judicial Investigative Authority as part of an investigation in which security forces seized bombing materials and arrested individuals, Interpol wrote on its website.
"The Interpol 'red notice' against Tariq al-Hashemi will significantly restrict his ability to travel and cross international borders," head of Interpol Ronald Noble was quoted as saying.
"It is a powerful tool that will help authorities around the world locate and arrest him," Noble said. -- NNN-QNA
