At least 23 people have been killed in twin suicide bombings in the western Iraqi city of Ramadi.
Another 30 people were injured in the blasts on Wednesday in Anbar province, including Qassim Mohammed Abid, the provincial governor.
Police said the attacks took place in quick succession in the provincial capital and that many of the wounded were from Iraqi security forces.
The first attack at around 9:30am local time (06:30 GMT) at a traffic junction in the centre of city.
A separate bombing 30 minutes later at the entrance to the nearby provincial council offices.
It was in this bombing that Abid was injured as he came out of his office to inspect the damage, a source at a Ramadi hospital was reported as saying.
Governor wounded
State television briefly reported that the governor had been killed in the blast, but those reports were quickly denied by Hikmet Khalaf, his deputy.
The AFP news agency quoted a doctor at Ramadi General Hospital as saying: "The governor is wounded. American forces came and took him for more treatment."
The US military did not immediately confirm that its troops took Abid to a US-run hospital.
Ahmed Rushdi, an independent journalist in Baghdad, told Al Jazeera: "There is now a curfew inside Anbar - [the roads] are only for police cars and ambulances. All the members of the council and the governorate have mild injures."
Anbar province was the heart of Iraq's Sunni uprising following the US-led invasion of Iraqi in 2003 but it became relatively secure after local tribal fighters accepted US-backing in 2006.
