Baghdad - At least 30 people were killed Thursday and 75 injured when two suicide bombers blew themselves up in the town of Balad Rus, in the province of Dijala, north-east of Baghdad.

Witnesses said one attacker had detonated an explosives device near the town's hospital. A second attacker detonated a device hidden in a car when helpers and onlookers approached the scene.

Several al-Qaeda terrorist cells are holed up in the province. (dpa)
