Bomb Squad Canines Retracted from Jordon and Egypt:US State Department

America has stopped sending its well trained sniffer dogs to Egypt and Jordon after maltreatment has been discovered
As a whistle blower discloses the inhuman condition of canine explosive expert dogs abroad, America decided to bring its heroes back


As if war atrocities weren’t enough, American bomb sniffer dogs are being reportedly kept in kennels and refused to be released by government agencies in Egypt and Jordon.

It has been discovered that many of them died due to heat strokes, and malnutrition.  After a report was put together post a whistleblower's complaint to the State Department Office of the Inspector General, the US has stopped sending its sniffer champions to both the countries.

Further, three out of 10 dogs provided to Egypt in August 2018 have already met with untimely deaths. This has been confirmed in the inspector general’s report. Also, the Egyptian authorities till date have refused to cooperate with the US personnel and did not grant them access to the dogs or their kennels. The U.S. Embassy has requested complete medical reports for a set of three dogs that died this year too.
Since 2018, US has provided about 135 bomb-sniffing dogs overseas in Egypt, Jordan, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon, Nepal, the Dominican Republic and Afghanistan. Recently, the State Department could repossess 10 dogs from Morocco after finding the dogs weren’t being used for their intended purpose.

According to official estimates, it takes arduous training and effort to ready the canine into bomb experts. The law enforcement programme is solely implemented by the State Department’s Antiterrorism Assistance (ATA) wing. It costs millions of dollars in recent years to train canines and a 30-day training program for 10 canine team costs $640,000. The American State Department entered into an agreement with countries to provide canine explosive experts as a way to enhance their law enforcement programs and detect explosives at sensitive public spots.
Jordon has been the highest recipient the last few years.
