Scores of people have been killed in two suicide bombings in Iraq.

At least 48 people, mostly Iranian pilgrims, died when a suicide bomber blew up a restaurant in Baquba, in the north-east, officials say.

In Baghdad, a suicide bomber killed at least 28 people - detonating a belt of explosives as police distributed aid to a crowd of homeless families.

Violence has fallen sharply in the last year but insurgents continue to carry out attacks across Iraq.

The deaths in Baquba, Diyala province, happened when a suicide bomber struck a roadside restaurant packed with Iranian pilgrims, military officials said.

About 63 people were also injured, and the restaurant demolished. Of the dead, only two were not Iranian, Reuters news agency reported.
