A WWII bomb that caused a scare in
Fano last week was safely set off in the sea off the Marche
port city on Monday, Mayor Massimo Seri said.
Some 23,000 residents were evacuated after the bomb was found
and accidentally triggered on a Fano beach during construction
work Tuesday.
Seri said "the navy divers carried out the operation
perfectly, although it took a little longer than expected
because of the adverse conditions of the sea".
