Delhi Metro Unit of Central Industrial Security Force is now planning to procure a squad of Belgian Malinois. This dog breed was the one which sniffed out Osama Bin Laden’s hideout in Pakistan’s Abbottabad. The CISF will train them to thwart possible ‘fidayeen (suicide) attacks’ both in the Delhi Metro network and the airport.
The CISF has gone for this option after the Labradors, German Shepherds and Cocker Spaniels with the force failed to detect ‘fidayeen attackers’ during dummy tests. Once in place, this will be the first such squad with any paramilitary force in India.
A CISF senior officer said, “Their sole purpose will be to guard, track and attack. Once inducted, they will be used only to pin down fidayeen attackers and not for general explosive detection work at metro stations or airports. Their handlers will undergo specialised training.”
