A suspected suicide bomber blew himself up in the Iraqi parliament cafeteria, killing at least eight people including three politicians, the American military said.

Iraqi officials said the bomber struck the cafeteria while several politicians were eating lunch. State television said at least 30 people were wounded.

Security officials at parliament, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to release the information, said they believed the suicide bomber was a bodyguard of a Sunni member of parliament who was not among the dead. They would not name the member of parliament.

The officials also said two satchel bombs were found inside the building near the dining hall. A US military bomb squad was called and took the explosives away and detonated them without incident.
