World War One shell kills two workers in Belgium's Ypres

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A World War One shell exploded and killed two construction workers in the Belgian town of Ypres on Wednesday, nearly 100 years after the conflict began.

"It's a shell that exploded with four workers there, a conventional device from World War One. One died instantly, another on the way to the hospital," said Ypres police chief Georges Aeck, adding a further worker was in a critical state and the fourth in shock.
