Most wanted: Man loads live giraffes on a plane

Have you seen a man who loaded live giraffes into a Tanzanian military plane for delivery to Qatar? If so Interpol would like to speak with you.

The international police agency Interpol recently began a Most Wanted campaign of suspects who have carried out such environmental crimes as wildlife trafficking, illegal fishing, illegal logging and trading in ivory.

Interpol is asking for the public's help in tracking down nine suspects on that list. Ioannis Kokkinis, an Interpol criminal intelligence officer, said in a statement that a new clue canc rack open a dormant case.

Among the nine most wanted is Ahmed Kamran. Interpol says Kamran allegedly paid for the transport of live giraffes and impalas by military plane from Kilimanjaro International Airport to be delivered to Qatar.
