Diyala province is one of the most dangerous in Iraq [Fiel: AFP]

More than 20 people were hurt in the attack in the provincial capital of Diyala on Wednesday morning.

The attacker was thought to be female, but a police official said it was too early to confirm as bombers use women's clothing to avoid detection.

A lawyer at the court said the bomber was wearing traditional Arabic dress.

"I was going out to get photocopies," Mohammed Timimi told AFP news agency.

"I saw a woman dressed in an abaya. As I stepped out she blew herself up. There was a police car and soldiers in the compound at the time."
