By Ed Cropley

PHUKET, Thailand (Reuters) - Interpol and 20 national police forces have

launched history's biggest disaster victim identification system to unravel the

mesh of forensic data from the bodies of more than 5,000 tsunami dead in

Thailand.

"This is like a world first," said Jeff Emery, an Australian police forensic

expert in charge of a team of about 60 detectives, doctors and pathologists

from 20 countries. "It is using the world's best and latest technology."
