Over 50 killed and wounded in two Iraq blasts

Iraq

At least 15 people died and 38 were wounded when two bombs went off in the Iraqi city of Tikrit as police and troops were collecting their salaries at a local bank, Reuters reported Thursday.

A car bomb detonated outside the Rafidain state-run bank in the center of Tikrit and a suicide bomber blew himself up as emergency workers arrived on the scene, police conveyed.

Local news reports said security forces imposed a curfew on Tikrit city, whilst the security bodies began an inspection campaign against existence of booby-trapped cars or possible additional attackers.
