		</div><p>Czech explosive experts detonated a Second World War bomb on Friday at a major chemical plant in the north west of the country, where it was found last week, authorities said.</p>
<p>Besides a few broken windows, the controlled explosion did not cause serious damage, police said in a statement.</p>
<p>The plant near the city of Litvinov belongs to Polish oil company PKN Orlen.</p>
<p>The bomb was found during construction work last week on August 21, away from a building.</p>
<p>Experts decided not to transport the 550lb bomb to a safer place to dispose of it, because it contained a chemical mechanism designed to delay the explosion, a rare discovery in the country.</p>
<p>They covered the bomb with hundreds of sandbags before the explosion.</p>
<p>A nearby road was closed and trams halted before the explosion at about noon.</p>
<p>Police sealed off an area more than a mile from the site of the explosion.</p>
<p>The refinery, which was located on Czechoslovak territory occupied by Nazi Germany during the war, was producing fuel for Nazi troops.</p>
<p>It was repeatedly targeted by the Royal Air Force.</p>
