The death toll from a truck bomb blast has risen to 97 at a busy marketplace in Iraq's eastern province of Diyala on Friday.

The blast has also left 133 others injured and 23 others missing.
About a dozen shops and civilian vehicles have been destroyed.
Authorities are investigating media reports that the huge blast was carried out by a suicide bomber, which is the style of the Islamic State militant group which has seized large parts of Iraq.
