ERBIL, Kurdistan Region—Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has ordered security services to stop using fake bomb detectors, known as ‘magic wands’, as he faces the rage of the grieving Iraqi population one day after the single most deadly attack on Baghdad this year.

The ADE651 was marketed to many countries, including Iraq, as a handheld bomb detector. It is a small wand with a telescopic antenna on a swivel that is supposed to detect explosive materials. Baghdad spent at least $85 million on the devices, putting one in nearly every checkpoint in the country.

The handheld wands were, in fact, developed to locate lost golf balls and are useless at detecting explosives. A retired US Air Force officer, Lt. Col. Hal Bidlack, said the wands worked “on the same principle as a Ouija board.”
