PARIS (AFP) - Interpol issued a global alert Friday for a desperately ill boy with a brain tumour who officials believe was kidnapped from hospital by his parents, dramatically ratcheting up the hunt for the five-year-old.
"At the request of UK authorities, Interpol has issued a Yellow Notice, or missing persons alert, for a five-year-old British boy removed from a hospital by his parents," the international police organisation said in a statement.
