| Bombs
found at Mass site
A month before the Pope’s visit, NATO-led peace-keepers removed 21 World War II-era
bombs buried at the site where the Pontiff was to celebrate a Mass for tens of
thousands of people in Bosnia-Herzegovina. A priest who was a child when
German troops used the site as an arms dump had warned there might be some bombs
buried there. Searchers found 15 corroded aerial bombs, each about 50kg,
and six similar bombs buried beside a church nearby. |
