US government dumps children's colouring book that depicts 9/11
A children's colouring book that depicts the burning towers of the 9/11 terror attacks and the devastation of Hurricane Katrina has been removed from a US government website over concerns that its contents could prove upsetting.

Makers said it was prepared by a crisis response team to help children "cope with disasters".
However, it has since been removed from the website of the Federal Emergency Management Agency after apparently being vetoed by Barack Obama's administration.
