WWII bomb forces evacuation in central Berlin
Around 3,000 residents had to be temporarily evacuated as a World War II bomb that was found on a construction site near Berlin's Alexanderplatz on Friday was safely defused early Saturday.
People living within a 300-metre radius were evacuated after the 100kg unexploded American ordnance with an intact detonator was unearthed.
Police spokesperson Michael Gassen said that "the detonator has been exploded in a controlled fashion. The bomb has been defused."
Matthias Rabe, a member of the bomb squad, specified that the bomb "now goes to the detonation site in Grunewald and will be detonated during the autumn detonations."
Unexploded bombs still litter Germany, 75 years after the end of the Second World War. Several times a year, the Berlin police take unexploded ordnance to a bunker in the Grunewald Forest to blow them up.
