An aerial bomb was uncovered during digging work on the building site for the national stadium in Warsaw, Poland.
The bomb has been securely removed by special bomb disposal units from the Polish Army. According to TVP Warszawa it will be taken to a special site for a controlled detonation.
This uncommon discovery minimally delayed clearing works on the old 10th Anniversary Stadium in central Warsaw, where rubble is being cleared and earth is being moved at the first stage of construction.
Next, concrete poles will be pushed into the ground, to stabilise the foundations of the new national stadium that will host the opening game of the Euro 2012.
The end of construction is planned for late summer in 2011.
