US soldiers have come up with a new bid to catch Saddam Hussein - by putting up posters portraying him as a Hollywood sex goddess.

US soldiers have come up with a new bid to catch Saddam Hussein - by putting up posters portraying him as a Hollywood sex goddess.

Troops from the 4th Infantry brigade in Tikrit are getting prepared to put up pictures of Saddam's face superimposed on the body of Zsa Zsa Gabor.

It is one of a series of pictures which also show Saddam as Elvis Presley, Billy Idol and Veronica Lake in an attempt to enrage Saddam's followers.

The spoof pictures have been taken from the worth1000 website, says The Guardian.

However, senior US officers in Baghdad may not be so pleased by the plan. An army spokeswoman said some locals might find the pictures "offensive".
