Islamabad : Britain has offered Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) an intelligence management system for data entry, linking, searching and retrieval.
The Dfuze Explosives Intelligence Management System can store reports, photographs and videos of all terror-related incidents, and provide access to the international network of Bomb Data Centres of law-enforcement communities around the world.
Britain has also offered funding for installing the system.
The system, to be installed at the FIA headquarters here, will be connected with all officers of its Special Investigation Group (SIG) through a satellite link, the Dawn reported Tuesday.
A retired army officer, who is an explosives expert, has already been posted as in-charge of the Bomb Data System in the SIG.
FIA director general Tariq Pervez said the system would “enable us to get and share information about how many bombing incidents had taken place in Pakistan as well as around the world and which type of explosives had been used in the incidents”.
FIA experts believe that the system will improve the analytical capabilities besides helping the agency to assess future threats, the Dawn said.
