Suicide attacks in the central Iraqi city of Baquba have killed at least 31 people and injured dozens more.
Two separate car bombs exploded within minutes of each other in the city, 60 km north of Baghdad, the BBC reported.
A later third blast targeted the city's main hospital, where victims of the first attacks were being treated.
The attacks came just days before nationwide parliamentary elections, the second such polls since Saddam Hussein was ousted in 2003.
