Two suicide bombers have killed at least seven people in the Iraqi town of Ramadi, say officials and police.
The attacks occurred near a government compound in Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province.
Reports suggest one bomber blew up a vehicle, and minutes later another detonated an explosives vest as people gathered at the scene.
A police official said seven people had been killed - including four police. At least 47 people have been wounded.
Situated 100km (60 miles) west of Baghdad, Ramadi was a stronghold of Iraq's Sunni insurgency after the US-led occupation of Iraq in 2003, until local Sunni tribes turned against al-Qaeda in 2007.
Overall the violence has fallen dramatically but periodic attacks remain.
On 12 December, 11 people were killed when a suicide car bomber targeted the same government office in Ramadi.
