London - British police have begun deploying sniffer dogs trained to detect explosives on the London Underground rail system after the July 7 attacks on the city, they said on Tuesday.

A British transport police spokesperson said dozens of dogs would be used throughout the London Underground in response to the attacks, the first time they had been sent onto the system.

The spokesperson said: "They will be able to go on trains as well as check out bags at ticket barriers and on station concourses.

"They operate just like dogs who search for drugs except they have been trained to sniff out explosives. We tend to go for Labradors and spaniels."

He said: "They have already started patrolling the Tube with their handlers and they will carry on indefinitely."
