At least 20 people were killed and dozens more wounded in series of

The blasts targeted a high-security complex in the town under Kurdish control in Diyala province.
A medical source at
Diyala hospital said at least 113 people were wounded in the explosions
and added that many of them are in critical condition.
Government bureaus, the
mayor's office, a police station and the offices of the two main Kurdish
political parties are in the complex, provincial police said.
The explosions happened in short succession.
