GERMAN POLICE DEFUSE WORLD WAR 2 BOMB AFTER CLEARING CENTRAL BERLIN

BERLIN: Bomb disposal experts defused a World War Two bomb in Berlin on Friday after evacuating an area in the heart of Berlin including the central train station, a hospital and the Economy Ministry. The 500-kg British bomb was discovered during building work this week, more than seven decades after the end of World War Two. Some 10,000 people - including residents, hospital patients and office workers - were evacuated from 9 a.m. from buildings within an 800 metre radius of the bomb while experts performed the delicate operation. Police posted a video on Twitter showing officers walking up the stairs in an apartment building.
