Germany: Thousands evacuated after Koblenz WWII bomb find
Officials in Germany’s western city of Koblenz say some 45,000 residents have to be evacuated from their homes as officials try to defuse a Second World War bomb discovered in the Rhine river.
City officials said today the massive British 1.8-ton bomb will be defused early Sunday, requiring all residents within a radius of about 1.2 miles from the bomb site to leave their homes for the day.
