Iraq bomb attacks leave at least 34 dead

At least 34 people have been killed and dozens injured following two bomb blasts in and around Iraq's capital Baghdad.

The first attack came when a suicide bomber drove a Humvee at a checkpoint south of Baghdad killing at least 24, Iraqi officials said.
The second attack, a car bombing inside the capital, killed at least 10 people, officials say.
Hundreds have been killed in bomb attacks across Iraq in recent months.
The checkpoint where the first explosion occurred was near the town of Jurf al-Sakhar, around 50 km (30 miles) south of Baghdad.
