Two bomb blasts have killed 18 people and wounded dozens more in Iraq as the country suffers its worst violence in years.
The first explosion took place when a car bomb was detonated near the office of Iraqi President Jalal Talabani's PUK party in Jalawla, north of Baghdad.
A suicide bomber detonated a second bomb as emergency workers arrived at the scene.
At least 18 people died in the blasts, and another 67 were wounded. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the explosions.
Damaged cars in the street after the twin explosions Attacks are running at their highest levels in Iraq since 2006 and 2007, when tens of thousands died in clashes between Iraq's Shiite majority and Sunni Arab minority.
Some 900 people were killed in Iraq last month alone.
Security forces have also battled militants in heavy clashes around the northern city of Mosul in recent days.
On Sunday, eight people died and three others were wounded when they were hit by shelling in the city.
Kurdish security forces inspect the scene of the attacks In Sargaran, near the city of Kirkuk, three roadside bombs also killed a civilian and wounded three soldiers.
Sunday's violence followed a series of major operations by jihadists in recent days that have killed dozens of people.
Militants took hundreds of hostages at Anbar University in Ramadi on Saturday. A series of blasts in Baghdad on Saturday night also killed at least 25 people.
Officials blame external factors for the rising bloodshed in Iraq, particularly the civil war in neighbouring Syria.
Analysts say widespread Sunni Arab anger with the Shiite-led government has also been a major factor.
