WW2 bomb forces evacuations in Greece's Thessaloniki

Thousands of Greeks evacuated their homes in the second-biggest city of Thessaloniki on Sunday to allow experts to defuse a World War Two bomb. The 250 kg (550 lb) bomb was discovered about 5 metres (16 feet) below ground during excavation works at a petrol station last week. Up to 72,000 residents living within a 2 km (1.2 miles) radius of the bomb site were asked to leave their homes in one of the country's biggest peacetime evacuations.
