Little Fighters come home ahead of schedule

IRELAND’S miracle twins Hassan and Hussien Benhaffhaf are due to fly home today just six weeks after the successful operation to separate them.

The five-month-olds from East Cork, who were born last December joined at the chest, underwent a complex 14-hour operation to separate them at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) on April 7.

But the boys, who have been dubbed the little fighters by their parents, Angie and Azzedine, have stunned medics with the speed of their recovery and will be discharged this morning.
