Emotional homecoming

IT WAS the moment they dreamt of but feared would never happen. After weeks of unimaginable stress, parents Angie and Azzedine Benhaffhaf enjoyed their happy ending as they brought their little fighters home to Ireland.

The couple beamed with relief as they stepped off an Air Corps aircraft at Cork Airport to an emotional homecoming — each cradling one of their twin sons, Hassan and Hussein, in their arms.

“Up Cork! Three cheers for the little fighters,” Angie shouted to family members who had gathered at the airfield’s perimeter fence to greet them.
