Czech explosive experts detonated a World War II bomb on Friday at a major chemical plant in northwestern Czech Republic where it was found last week, authorities said. Besides a few broken windows, the controlled explosion didn’t immediately seem to cause serious damage, police said in a statement.

Police sealed off an area 2 kilometers (more than a mile) from the site of the explosion. ...

"We have a legal and moral obligation to deliver justice for these family members, rather than false promises that these commissions will ever deliver more.
