Gunmen and suicide bombers in Iraq have stormed an provincial council building in the city of Baquba, killing at least eight people.
A car bomb and a suicide bomber opened the main gate. At least five gunmen then stormed the compound and a second suicide bomber blew himself up in fighting with troops.
The BBC reports the council of Diyala province, north-east of Baghdad, was due to meet in Baquba when the building was attacked.
