At least 35 people have been killed and more than 50 injured following a double suicide bombing north of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad this morning.
Iraqi army sources said the bombers, one dressed in an Iraqi military uniform, the other in civilian clothing, mingled with the crowds of young recruits before blowing themselves up.
In recent years, insurgents have reportedly killed thousands of army recruits in similar attacks across Iraq.
The attack is said to be the deadliest since May 1, when twin suicide bombers killed at least 35 people in the nearby town of Balad Ruz.
