Pink Floyd star Roger Waters says he hopes to carry out more rescue missions after chartering a jet to bring two stranded foreign boys out of Syria and reuniting them with their mother.
Waters flew a human rights lawyer and the boys' mother to northern Iraq to pick up the pair, aged seven and 11.
The Trinidadian boys had been abducted and taken to Syria by their father.
Waters told BBC News it was his first such trip. “It's the first time, but I hope it won't be the last,” he said.
Seven-year-old Ayyub Ferreira and his brother Mahmud, 11, had been in Syria since being taken there by their father, an Islamic State fighter, in 2014 or 2015.

They were found by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces and taken to a refugee camp in northern Syria.
