A suicide bomber blew up himself today outside an army recruitment center in the Iraqi town of Hawijah, north of Baghdad, killing 30 people and wounding 35 others, police said.
The suicide bomber wearing a belt of explosives mingled with recruits outside the center before blowing himself up, police said.
Insurgents stepped up violent attacks over the few past weeks to destabilize the country's new US-backed government, attacking security forces and senior officials along with the US troops.
