LAHORE, Jan 23: The FBI is going to collect complete information about three million Pakistanis including politicians, industrialists, businessmen and criminals, it has been learnt.

Sources in the interior ministry say the US authorities want to collect all information about every Tom, Dick and Harry who is supposed to be able to pose threat to US interests.

In view of the possibility of a popular backlash, the FBI will use domestic investigation agencies to collect the data. For the purpose, the US bureau is currently conducting a week-long course in Islamabad to train local officials.

At least 15 police inspectors were selected from each of the four provinces for the training course, which started on Jan 20.

The policemen are being educated on how to collect evidence from a crime scene, fingerprint an object and take fingerprints of the suspects and examine them through specialized software, they add.
