At least 35 people have been killed and more than 50 injured in a double suicide bombing north of Baghdad, army sources said, as cited by BBC.
The two bombers, one of whom wore an Iraqi military uniform, mingled with the crowd of young recruits and detonated their explosives-filled vests at a recruitment centre on the Al-Saad base in the city of Baquba.
At least 55 people were also wounded in the blast, which came ahead of a promised Iraqi army offensive in the Diyala province, which is an Al-Qaeda stronghold.
Thousands of army recruits have been killed by insurgents in similar attacks across Iraq in recent years.
Despite this, many young men are still willing to join the army, which is one of the few sources of employment in Iraq, correspondents say.
