At least 45 people have been killed and 150 injured in a double suicide bombing near a busy market in the Iraqi town of Hilla, local police say. A police source told the BBC an officer tried to stop and search the first attacker, but as he did so both men detonated their explosives. It came as at least 10 other people were killed in bomb and mortar attacks across the capital, Baghdad. Six people died when a minibus was hit in the mainly Shia area of Karrada. Three more people died in a car bomb in another mainly Shia district of the capital, Rusfasi. The blasts followed mortar attacks in the mainly Sunni area of Adhamiya, in which at least one person was killed. Police said they also found 30 unidentified bodies across the capital.
