BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- At least 68 Iraqis have been killed and more than 56 wounded in a suicide bombing at a marketplace near a police station in a day of violence around Baghdad, officials said.

Police recruits were waiting in line outside the station in the heart of the city of Baquba Wednesday when a Toyota mini bus exploded at around 9:40 a.m. (0540 GMT).

Twenty-one passengers on board a bus passing by were all killed when the mini bus blew up, said Sa'ad al-Amalii, the director general of the Health Ministry.

Officials said they expect the toll in the to rise in what has been described as the deadliest single bombing since the handover of sovereignty in late June.

One local health official put the number of wounded at 70.
