From FOXNews.com
Headline:
"British Army Works to Diffuse Giant WWII-Era Bomb in London"
Now I ask you, why would anyone want to spread the bomb all over London? Furthermore, the easiest way to “diffuse” it is to blow it up. That way it will be diffused all over the place in little tiny bits.

Fortunately, the article itself was correct.
Story:
"LONDON — Military engineers were working Friday to defuse a giant bomb from World War II that was discovered in east London during construction for the Olympic Games, but the work was not going as quickly as hoped, a military spokesman said."
