500-kg bomb in world heritage site defused
The management board of the My Son Sanctuary in Quang Nam province said engineers had succeeded in defusing a 500-kilogramme bomb in the B tower area on May 11. 

The bomb may have remained since the US army bombed the My Son Sanctuary in 1972. 

It the bomb had not been defused in time, it could have “flattened” the UNESCO-recognised heritage site of the My Son Sanctuary. 

The bomb is now on display at the Khe The Museum in the sanctuary area.
