NAGOYA —

A bomb-disposal unit of the Ground Self-Defense Force on Saturday removed a dud U.S. bomb of World War II vintage from a housing construction site in Nagoya’s Higashi Ward. Some 3,000 nearby residents were evacuated.

The 1.2-meter, 250-kilogram bomb is believed to have been dropped by the U.S. military during World War II. It was found March 10.

  Why is there no mention here about the unexploded bomb they are preparing to remove in Chofu on March 18th, which will shut down the Keio line for the day?

  I would think this was news. Is there some sort of news blackout? But they announced it on the Keio line and because of it Chofu has been crawling with police.

  Well, you heard it here first.
