PARIS (AP) — The disposal of what Paris police called an “excessively dangerous” unexploded World War II bomb caused hours of transportation chaos on rail and road networks in the French capital. Disposal experts managed to unscrew and then destroy the fuse of the half-ton British-made bomb. But their lengthy operation to make it safe forced the suspension of high-speed train links with London and Brussels. And it forced the cancellation of hundreds of train services and also shut down major roads. Commuters’ workdays and passengers’ travel plans were upended. The French transport minister expressed relief when it was all over on Friday.
