Second unexploded shell found at illegal French rave: minister

The unauthorised rave known as a "free party" kicked off on Friday at a firing range near the central town of Bourges, some 200 km (120 miles) south of Paris. Organisers said that up to 40,000 people from France and neighbouring countries attended, defying warnings about the danger of unexploded munitions, while Interior Minister Laurent Nunez put the turnout at 17,000. Philippe Le Moing Surzur, the top local official, has warned that dancing at the site was "extremely dangerous due to the unexploded ordnance" dating back to World War II.
