Plymouth bomb: 'We're going to blow it in situ'

A World War Two bomb found on a building site in Plymouth is going to be blown up where it lies on Friday, experts have said.

Explosive ordnance specialist Col Nick Handy said damage would be mitigated by a "structure" around the 250kg bomb that was found in the Southway area of the city.

An X-ray of the bomb and an examination of its fuse had led to the decision to detonate the bomb in situ, he said.

The detonation would be "some time" on Friday, Handy added.
