Bomb found in Dortmund's Signal Iduna

A yet to be exploded Second World War bomb has been discovered close to Borussia Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park ground.
The 550lb device, reported as being of British origin, was found on Thursday.
It was discovered just hours before
Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp was about to give a news conference ahead of their crucial derby against Schalke on Saturday.
The 80,720-capacity stadium and the surrounding area was emptied.

"It is not yet known how long the stadium area will remain off limits," Dortmund, who shut their Fan World space and club
museum, said in a brief statement.
The bomb was found at a parking area to the west of the Signal Iduna Park and was discovered after viewing aerial photographs.
Unexploded World War II ordnance is a relatively common occurrence in Germany where several million tonnes of bombs were dropped during the war by Allied and Soviet forces.
The city of Dortmund suffered most extensive destruction during the
bombing raids.
