BERLIN (Reuters) - Thousands of people were being evacuated from central Cologne in western Germany on Wednesday following the discovery of three wartime bombs, in what the city authority called the largest such measure since the end of World War II.
An evacuation zone with a radius of 1,000 metres will be cleared from 8am (0600 GMT), impacting around 20,500 residents as well as many workers and hotel guests in the city's historic old town and popular Deutz district, a statement from the authority said.
