Tirana (AFP) - The massive, top secret Cold War nuclear bunker of former Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha was opened to the public on Saturday, decades after it was built by the paranoid communist regime fearing an attack by the West that never came.The ex-dictator's bed, covered with a red mattress, is still in place in his bunker bedroom, with a Soviet-era radio placed on his bedside table. During Hoxha's 40-year rule, Albania was one of the world's most isolated countries, obsessed about an attack by the West. Now, 24 years after the fall of the regime, its countryside is still dotted by the remains of some 700,000 bunkers.
