Police say there is no danger a large-scale deployment will take place in Berlin on Friday morning to allow experts to remove a World War II bomb. The owners of the ship will leave from 9:00 p.m. to a distance of 800m from where the bomb was discovered.
The area includes government ministries, a hospital and the city's central railway station. Thousands of unbroken bombs from the 1939-45 war are found each year.
Police say there is no danger from the bomb that was found in Heidestrasse last Wednesday.
Understandably, the operation to evacuate the device will take place about noon. Tegel, who is Berlin's most busy airport, briefly closed last August following the discovery of a World War II bomb.
Also last September, patients in Frankfurt hospitals were evacuated to allow the controlled explosion of another major wartime bomb
