US WWII bomb detonated in Germany, causing widespread damage

BERLIN (AP) — The controlled detonation of an American World War II bomb in the southern German city of Regensburg has still caused widespread damage to nearby houses.
Some 4,500 residents had to be evacuated from the area before experts performed the detonation.

Photos also showed damaged roofs.
