Unexploded bomb from WWII removed from Polish city

WARSAW, Poland - Thousands of people were evacuated Thursday from buildings in a western Polish city as experts removed an unexploded World War II bomb.

Technicians used a crane to lift the bomb from a building site onto a truck in central Wroclaw, known by its German name, Breslau, until the borders were shifted after the war's end.

The bomb weighed 1,100 pounds, police spokesman Wojciech Wybraniec told the Polish news agency PAP.

Unexploded bombs from World War II are a relatively common find in Poland and Germany, even more than 60 years after the conflict's end.
