A suicide bomber has attacked a convoy carrying the governor of the northern Iraqi province of Kirkuk, killing one person and wounding at least 12.
Abdul-Rahman Mustafa, after escaping the attack in the city of Kirkuk unharmed, said: "It was the third assassination attempt on my life, but it will not stop me doing my job."
The attack came as four people were killed and dozens wounded when two car-bombs exploded outside Yarmouk hospital in the west of the capital, Baghdad.
Some of those killed were waiting to collect bodies of relatives from the mortuary, security officials said.
Iraqis had come to the mortuary to pick up the bodies of relatives for burial, a task which has become an almost daily event, when the car bomb exploded.
Forty bodies with gunshot wounds and some with signs of torture were found in different parts of Baghdad on Monday, an interior ministry source said.
There has been a series of bombings in oil-rich Kirkuk in recent months amid tensions between the Kurdish and Sunni Arab populations.
Kirkuk, north of Baghdad, is disputed by Sunni Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen and its final status is one of Iraq's most contested issues.
