[spanone]

BAGHDAD — Two thunderous blasts set off by suicide bombers ripped through a crowded shopping street in the town of Beladrouz in Diyala province on Thursday, and Iraqi security officials said the explosions killed at least 35 people and wounded 75 others, many of them seriously.

The first bomb was aimed at a wedding caravan that was driving through the neighborhood, said a security official in Beladrouz, a town known for its restaurants and stores. The second bomb went off after police and medical teams had rushed to scene of the first explosion.

One of the suicide bombers was a woman wearing an explosives-filled vest, the official said, and the second bombing was carried out by a man.
