Entire 13-metre bridge stolen in southern Bosnia, police say


In what could qualify for Ripley's Believe It or Not, seven thieves stole an entire 13-metre bridge near the southern Bosnian town of Mostar, police said Friday.

Over several days, the group dismantled the metal bridge built during the Austro-Hungarian empire 150 years ago, transported the parts to a local junk yard and sold them, a police statement said.
