The police chief of Iraq's Anbar province, where Islamic State militants are advancing, has been killed in a roadside bomb, officials say.
Major General Ahmed Saddag was killed when the bomb targeted his convoy near the provincial capital Ramadi.
In a separate attack, 22 Kurdish soldiers died in a triple car bomb attack in the eastern Diyala province.
Islamic State militants have seized large parts of Iraq and Syria in recent months, pushing back Iraqi forces.
A security source told Reuters that the police chief was on patrol inspecting security forces in the Al-Bu Risha area of Ramadi when two roadside bombs went off.
Anbar province is the home of a growing insurgency by Sunni militants, including Islamic State.
On Saturday, a series of car bombs exploded in mainly Shia areas of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, killing at least 38 people.
At least 75 people have been killed in attacks in various Iraqi cities this weekend.
