Sick souvenirs of the destruction of the World Trade Centre have been advertised on an auction website.

Items ranging from rubble to items of clothing have been advertised as "collectors' items".

Austria-based OneTwoSold has now banned the adverts from its website.

"One person was offering parts of the skyscrapers, another a 15-minute video, another a fireman's helmet," said the firm's spokeswoman Andrea Heldova.

"There was even dust, bits of metal and glass from the skyscrapers on offer."

Heldova said there had been no interest shown in the "souvenirs".
