The band 'Unknown to No-one'.

In the late days of Saddam Hussein's Iraq, a group of middle class boys with musical talent and big ambitions came together. The boy band they formed - called "Unknown to No-one" - was modelled on the Backstreet Boys.

When Saddam's regime fell, they hoped that their love songs would make them a hit in the West. Caroline Hawley, the BBC's correspondent in Baghdad, got to know the group during the chaotic aftermath of the war in Iraq.

Now after years of separation and uncertainty they have re-formed in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. In this edition of Assignment, Caroline meets them again to hear their stories about life in exile, about having to sing for Saddam, and to find out what has happened to their dreams of stardom.
