From correspondents in Barcelona

ITALIAN porn star and former Italian parliamentarian "La Cicciolina" has offered to give herself to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in exchange for world peace, according to an interview published today.

"I offer myself to Saddam in exchange for universal peace," the Hungarian-born actress, whose real name is Ilona Staller, told Catalan daily El Periodico.

"I would do it holding my nose and closing my eyes. I would do it for peace," she said, adding that she had already made the offer to the Iraqi leader during the 1991 Gulf war.

When asked if her well-known stunt of exposing her breasts during political appearances in Italy had not undermined her credibility, the porn star answered: "My breasts have never done anyone any harm, while (Osama) bin Laden's war has caused thousands of victims."

La Cicciolina, who yesterday attended the opening of Barcelona's 10th erotic film festival, was formerly a deputy for Italy's Radical Party. She made an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the Hungarian parliament in April.
