Conjoined twins arrive in London ahead of op

Cork's conjoined twins have arrived in London ahead of their scheduled separation surgery.

Hassan and Hussein Benhaffaf, dubbed the "little fighters", were born in December and are due to undergo surgery on April 7.

The family flew to London yesterday where the twins will spend the next few weeks preparing for the surgery which will take up to 20 hours

It is understood the boys are joined at the chest but do not share any vital organs, making separation possible.
