The unearthing of a 500-kilogram World War II bomb near tracks outside Paris on Friday halted traffic and stranded thousands of passengers in one of the biggest rail disruptions in the French capital in years. The bomb dates back to World War II, with a source familiar with the situation telling AFP that the explosive device weighed 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds).
