Three thousand people were evacuated from their homes in the center of the French city of Rennes while a huge British bomb from World War II was defused. The 250-kilogram bomb was found near the citys town hall during the building of a new metro line in the capital of the Brittany region of western France. It was packed with 70 kilos of high explosives and police bomb disposal experts faced a very delicate operation to disarm it. Police evacuated all homes and businesses within 270 meters of the scene, including a fire station and 90 residents of a home for the elderly while the operation took place.
