At least 38 people have been killed in two bombings in Iraq.
The first occurred in the town of Karma, west of Baghdad, where a suicide attacker detonated a bomb at a local council meeting, killing at least 20. More than a dozen people were wounded. It was the third attack in a week against a local administrative branch of the Iraqi government.
Hours later, a car bomb in the northern city of Mosul left at least 18 people dead and dozens wounded.
Those killed are reported to include the head of the local tribal council, and members of a neighbourhood patrol force opposed to al-Qaeda.
The attack comes days before US troops are to hand over security responsibility to Iraqis in Anbar.
