Bomb detecting rats could replace sniffer dogs in the battle against terrorism, scientists say.
Russian experts claim the rodents could be trained to find explosives - planted, perhaps, by ISIS militants - and even human beings trapped in rubble.

Rats in Rostov-on-Don at the Laboratory of Olfactory Perception (LOP) have been shown with electrodes attached to their brains.
