Baghdad - At least 20 people were killed and one wounded on Saturday when a suicide bomber blew himself up in Baghdad among recruits to the Iraqi security forces, an interior ministry spokesperson said.
"A suicide bomber wearing an explosives vest blew himself up among a group waiting to sign up to join the commandos," Colonel Adnan Abdelrahman said referring to a special force attached to the interior ministry.
He said the attack happened at about 09:00 near Al-Nusur Square in the city centre, not far from the commando headquarters, the target of several deadly attacks in the past.
