Bomb Scare
During the battle that took place here in WWII the island of Roi-Namur was peppered with bombs and ammunition. Many of them did not immediately explode and are still present on the island. Residents here are warned never to touch any they happen to find and if they do see some to contact the authorities who will safely dispose of it. Last week an incident took place that could have proved fatal. Here is the story as it was told to me by the police lieutenant here.
