An explosion has hit a cafeteria at the Iraqi parliament, killing at least one person and injuring several others, witnesses said.

The cafeteria is reserved for MPs and their staff and the explosion happened during lunchtime.

The parliament building is located inside Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone.

Earlier, a bomb on a bridge in Baghdad killed at least eight people and sent several cars into the River Tigris.

Parliament was in session on Thursday.
