Unexploded WW-II shell sparks evacuation

London: Hundreds of people have been told to leave homes and businesses in the English city of Bath after a 225-kg unexploded World War II shell was found under a school playground. Police evacuated residents for 300 metres around the device, found during construction work at the disused Royal High School. Britain was heavily bombed by Germany’s Luftwaffe during the war, and undetonated explosives are sometimes found during construction work. AP
