According to local authorities,
314 World War II bombs were discovered while working on a
massive urban development project at the former airport complex
of Elliniko south of Athens, as reported by the daily
Kathimerini. Elliniko-Argyroupoli Mayor Giannis Konstantatos
said at a press conference on Thursday that the cache of
German-made ordnance was discovered buried at a depth of two
metres beneath a former social club, nursery schools, and sports
facilities built for the 2004 Athens Olympics on the site.
