Unexploded Bomb from WWII DefusedDate Posted: 2000-03-10 Police stopped subway trains running through the neighborhood and closed off a section of an expressway passing near the site during the 2 1/2-hour operation to defuse the bomb, local newspapers said. In addition, some 3,400 people within a 220-yard radius around the site were evacuated, according a report by Kyodo News agency repeated in several media outlets. World War II-era explosives are occasionally found in cities such as Osaka and Tokyo, which were heavily bombed during the war by US airplanes. In February, some 10,000 residents of a Tokyo neighborhood were temporarily evacuated after an unexploded bomb was found during construction of a shopping center. |
