German city evacuates 20,000 people to defuse World War II bombs
Authorities in the German city of Cologne defused three unexploded World War II bombs on Wednesday after ordering the evacuation of more than 20,000 people. The American-made bombs prompted emergency officials to seal off a 1,000-meter (3,280-foot) radius in the heart of the city. Notably, Cologne was subjected to particularly heavy bombing during World War II.
