Hundreds of people were told to leave their homes and businesses in the English city of Bath on Thursday after a 500-pound (225-kilogramme) unexploded World War II bomb was found under a school playground.

Chief Superintendent Ian Smith, of Avon and Somerset police, told British broadcaster Sky News on Friday that military experts had brought 250 tonnes of sand to set up an exclusion zone around the unexploded bomb.
