At least 45 people are reported to have been killed and 150 hurt in a double suicide bombing near a market in the Iraqi town of Hilla.
A police source told the BBC an officer tried to stop the first attacker detonating himself, but as he did so the other bomber exploded his device.
It came as at least 10 other people were killed on another day of violence across the country.
Six people died when a bomb hit a minibus in Baghdad.
Three more people died in a car bomb in the Rusfasi district of the capital.
