 A maritime border operation coordinated by Interpol has detected more than a dozen suspected foreign terrorist fighters travelling across the Mediterranean. Operation Neptune 2 focused on the threats posed by suspected foreign terrorist fighters potentially using maritime routes between North Africa and Southern Europe during the busy summer tourist season. Since 2016 Interpol has a global counter-terrorism strategy with a few action streams, a few priorities. One of these priorities is interrupting terrorist travel. Since that strategy it helped us to develop operations, cross-regional operations and to know the travel routes of these people and the travel routes based on the operations now leads to this result. Supported by Interpol officers on the ground, the intelligence-led operation also targeted criminal networks involved in human trafficking, people smuggling, firearms trafficking and the drugs trade. Law enforcement officials at seven seaports in the six participating countries, Algeria, France, Italy, Morocco, Spain and Tunisia carried out more than 1.2 million searches across Interpol's databases for stolen and lost travel documents, nominal data and stolen vehicles. These resulted in 31 active investigative leads with more than 12 of these linked to the movement of terrorist suspects. It highlights the need of regional and international cooperation, even between continents.
