Mohit Joshi 27 August 2008

Poles spend record amount in getting ready for 2008 Olympics Warsaw - Several hundred residents will be evacuated from their homes on Wednesday so soldiers can remove a World War II-era bomb found in the South of Poland, local media reported.

Residents of Raciborz, a mid-sized town in the country's Silesia region, will leave their homes for several hours so the military can clear the bomb found on Tuesday by a construction worker. Several streets have also been closed, reported the Polish Press Agency.

Police say the bomb weights 300 to 500 kilograms. (dpa)
