Deadly number withdrawn

Virginia recalled a number plate reading Zyklon B - the gas used in Nazi death camps - issued to a man convicted two years ago of painting racial and religious slurs on a black church. The state will send the owner, Ryan Maziarka, a new plate later this week. Requests for personalised plates are screened to see if requests are potentially offensive, a spokeswoman said. Mr Maziarka's request probably slipped through because it is obscure. AP - Norfolk, Virginia
