World War II bomb found at bridge
Pedestrians stumbled upon a presumed World War II bomb on the Danube embankment, about 100 metres from Szabadság bridge on Saturday.
During the bomb disposal works police sealed off a 100-metre area and about 50 people had to be evacuated from buildings and a ship stationed nearby.
The Armed Forces bomb disposal unit took the German-made device away on Sunday.
