(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Ottawa, Sept. 22 (Petra) -- A handful of Canadian army combat engineers will soon be in Iraq to train local security forces on the finer points of detecting and defusing roadside bombs, Canada's Department of National Defence said Thursday.
It said in a statement that an advance team has already been sent to observe the kind of instruction being given under a NATO program that was announced at the Warsaw Summit in the summer of 2016, but only established earlier this year.
The media release by National Defence provided few specifics, saying only a dozen engineers would be involved in the new endeavour and that they would deploy "later this fall."
