		</div><p>A Second World War bomb exploded at a construction site next to a busy railway line in Munich on Wednesday, injuring four people, one of them seriously, German police said.</p>
<p>A column of smoke was seen rising from the site near the Donnersbergerbruecke station.</p>
<p>The construction site for a new commuter train line is located on the approach to Munich’s central station, which is about half a mile to the east.</p>
<p>Trains to and from that station, one of Germany’s busiest, were suspended but service resumed in mid-afternoon.</p>
<p>A few local trains were evacuated. The fire service said there was no damage to the tracks.</p>
<p>Unexploded bombs are still found frequently in Germany, even 76 years after the end of the war, and often during work on construction sites.</p>
<p>They are usually defused or disposed of in controlled explosions, a process that sometimes entails large-scale evacuations as a precaution.</p>
<p>Bavaria’s state interior minister, Joachim Herrmann, said the 250kg bomb was found during drilling work, German news agency dpa reported.</p>
<p>Mr Herrmann said authorities must now investigate why it was not discovered earlier. He noted that such construction sites are usually scanned carefully in advance for possible unexploded bombs.</p>
