At least 14 people have been killed in a double suicide attack in a Sunni district of Baghdad.
Police said the leader of a US backed neighbourhood patrol was among the dead from the attack, which wounded 20.
One of the bombers detonated an explosive vest, the other struck with a car bomb.
The strikes were the latest in an apparent stepped-up campaign of suicide bombings that has seen major attacks nearly every day for the past two weeks, even as overall levels of violence in Iraq have fallen.
A strike at a funeral on New Year's Day that killed 34 people was the deadliest attack in the capital in five months.
Other blasts in Baghdad today killed five people, including a bomb hidden in a market cart that killed four and a pair of roadside bombs that killed a civilian and wounded two policemen.
