    The blast occurred in the town of Balad, about 80km from capital Baghdad.

    There have been a number of attacks on Iraqi cafes in recent weeks, during the holy month of Ramadan.

    Over 60 people alone were killed during celebrations for Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, earlier this week.

    Most of the casualties were in Baghdad, which was hit by apparently co-ordinated car bombings near markets, cafes and restaurants.
