An unexploded bomb from World War 2 was neutralized in Maribor yesterday. About 130 people had to be evacuated to a nearby school. The 250-kilo bomb was found at a construction site.
The bomb had two mechanical fuses. It took a team of 150 people to safely deactivate it but it went smoothly, according to one official.
16,000 bombs were dropped in the Maribor area in the final stages of World War 2.
