NEW DELHI: Cousins of the special breed canines, which assisted the US Navy Seals in sniffing out Osama bin Laden from his safe haven in Pakistan , will now help Indian security forces in 'find and fix' anti-Naxal operations in dense forests and difficult terrains.
The imported dogs are a specialized breed of the Belgian s h e p h e rd s, also called 'Malinois'.
"This is the first time that security forces will be using canines in Naxal operations — a practice in line with Israeli and Nato forces operating in Afghanistan and other places," a senior officer involved in the training of these sniffers said.
