According to BNS, an explosive was discovered next to the Sholem Aleichem ORT Gymnasium in Vilnius Thursday afternoon. Bomb experts removed it and took it to a quarry for demolition, BNS quoted Vilnius District Police as saying. Police said the bomb was taken to the quarry about 4:35 P.M. Police wouldn’t tell BNS what kind of bomb it was, but students at the school reported it was unexploded ordnance from World War II. Police said a 20- to 25-centimeter shell or artillery piece was uncovered during construction work on the future kindergarten adjacent to the main school building and within the territory of the school. Police said they received the initial report at about 1:49 P.M. Thursday. The report led to alerts issued to police, medical services, Aras special police forces and military demolition experts. The school was temporarily evacuated and regular operation resumed Friday.
