TOKYO, APR 16 (AP) - Japanese disposal experts on Sunday defused an unexploded bomb believed to have been dropped by U.S. forces during World War II, a Tokyo city official said.

   

The 500-pound (230-kilogram) bomb was unearthed in March at a construction site along the Sumida River in northeastern Tokyo, said spokeswoman Hiromi Tojima.

  

Police sealed off an area within a 300-meter (300-yard) radius of the bomb site and evacuated 4,000 people during the three-hour operation, she said.

  

World War II-era explosives are occasionally found in cities such as Osaka and Tokyo, which were heavily bombed during the war.
