A 1,000-pound aerial bomb used by the United States and Allied forces during World War II was safely removed from a construction site in a central district of Serbia's capital, Belgrade, on Sunday, police said. The U.S.-made AN-M44 bomb was used during air raids on German positions during the liberation of Belgrade from Nazi occupation in 1944. Ahead of the bomb's removal, the site, which is near a residential area and a shopping mall, underwent detailed reconnaissance "to ensure safe conditions," police said.
