At least 10 people have been killed in an attack on the provincial council building in the Iraqi city of Tikrit, officials say.
“Two police officers were killed outside the building, and we have reports of at least eight people dead inside,” a security official told AFP news agency.
He said that dozens had been wounded.
Overall the level of violence in Iraq has dropped sharply, but bomb attacks in particular are still common.
