Saddam spicy:A restaurant in China is trying to get punters through its door by placing Saddam Hussein's picture above it.

The Passion Barbecue, in Shenyang, has incorporated a picture of Saddam into its branding - in a manner vaguely reminiscent of KFC's Colonel Sanders, only with more blood on his hands. A restaurant spokeswoman is quoted as saying: "Saddam loved challenges, and eating our spicy chicken wings also requires courage, so it's a good match."
