Unexploded WWII Bomb Found Near Berlin HauptBahnHof

AFP - An unexploded World War II bomb has been unearthed near Berlin's main train station, risking possible disruptions to rail and road traffic, authorities said Wednesday

"The bomb was found yesterday afternoon on property belonging to the rail company," a police spokesman told AFP, adding that the 100-kilogramme (220-pound) explosive was dropped by the Allies during the Second World War.

The site lies about 1.5 kilometres (0.9 miles) north of the main train station and the spokesman said police were still determining how to re-route road traffic around the area.
