Conjoined twins to be separated in Saudi Arabia

Saturday, 25 October 2008

A medical team in Saudi Arabia is preparing to separate conjoined Iraqi twins.

Eyad and Ziyad are joined at the abdomen and chest - they also share a liver and parts of the bowels.

The two boys arrived in Riyadh seven months ago on board an evacuation plane ordered by King Abdullah.

The operation is expected to last for sixteen hours.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
