A twin attack involving a car bomb and a suicide bombing outside a bank in the north Iraq city of Tikrit on Thursday killed at least 12 people and wounded 28, a health official said.
  
"A car bomb exploded outside the Al-Rafidain Bank in the centre of Tikrit, and one minute later a suicide bomber exploded his vest as people gathered, killing at least 12 people and wounding 28," said Dr Raad al-Jubburi, head of the health department in Salaheddin province, of which Tikrit is the capital. He said that a number of police and soldiers were among the dead and wounded.
  
A witness said that the state-owned bank where the explosion took place is close to the city's wholesale food market, which was crowded.
