A twin blast hit Miqdadiyah area in the northeastern Iraqi province of Diyala on Monday, leaving 20 people dead and 40 others injured.

A booby-trapped car and a suicide bomber wearing an explosive belt targeted a popular cafe in central Miqdadiyah, the Interior Ministry spokesman said.

This is the third bloody attack in Iraq today.
