British police said on Friday they had identified people they want to question about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the three-year-old who went missing in Portugal six years ago, Reuters reported. Madeleine disappeared from her room at a holiday resort in the Algarve, Portugal, on May 3, 2007, as her parents dined at a nearby restaurant, sparking a global manhunt and transfixing the world's media. Speaking to the Evening Standard newspaper, Detective Chief Superintendent Hamish Campbell, head of Scotland Yard's Homicide and Serious Crime Command, said: "There are a lot of people of interest," without saying how many. "There are people who could be properly explored further, if only to be eliminated." British police confirmed they had identified people of interest but said they had not asked Portuguese police to arrest anyone. Despite reported sightings the world over, the fate of Madeleine McCann remains a mystery. -- SPA 20:40 LOCAL TIME 17:40 GMT تغريد
