Kabul: abandoned dogs from airport could resume service

They are part of the remains of two decades of American occupation in Kabul.

In a makeshift training center at Kabul airport, dozens of dogs left behind during last month’s chaotic evacuations from Afghanistan. Although the precise owner is not known, they were found in the section of the airport that was used by US forces.

The fate of these dogs had been put forward at the end of August by the organization for the defense of the animal cause PETA which had accused the American administration of having left several dozen behind it. ”. The Pentagon quickly denied these accusations.

Americans or not, the priority is now to resume training. Sniffing out drugs and explosives, they prepare for the airport to reopen.

For several days, activity has slowly resumed its course on the tarmac. After two charter flights last week, a commercial flight from Islamabad touched down on Monday. A first since the takeover of the country by the Taliban on August 15.
