JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME - VAN DAMME WANTED TO FIGHT TERRORISM

Belgian movie hardman JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME is being head-hunted to solve the world's terrorism problems, by North Korean leader KIM JONG IL's son and potential successor.

Jong Il's 24-year-old heir KIM JONG CHOL has reportedly been dismissed by his father as "too girlish" to rule the country, but is a leading contender as his elder brother is currently in self-imposed exile in Europe.

And North Koreans will be interested in Kim Jong Chol's defence and foreign policies - which he proposes should be lead by the 'Muscles From Brussels'.

Inspired by Van Damme's terrorist-busting performance in 1995 film SUDDEN DEATH, he says, "I'd not allow weapons or atom bombs any more. I'd destroy all terrorists with the Hollywood star Jean-Claude Van Damme."
