Two major German cities evacuate more than 60,000 people to defuse WWII bomb

Residents in two German cities are evacuating their homes as authorities prepare to dispose of a World War II-era bomb found during construction work this week.

About 21,000 people have been ordered to leave their homes and workplaces in the western city of Koblenz as a precaution before specialists attempt to defuse the 500-kilogram bomb on Saturday afternoon (local time).Among those moved to safety are prison inmates and hospital patients.
