Daily attacks have shown no sign of abating, sparking fears that the nation is slipping back into all-out sectarian war.
Armed men have assaulted a mayor's office in a Sunni town just north of Baghdad, one of several attacks across Iraq that killed 19 people, according to officials.
Bombings also hit west Baghdad, as well as the predominantly Sunni cities of Abu Ghraib, Mosul on Tuesday.
Nine people were killed and 17 wounded in the suicide and mortar attack on the government compound that housed the mayor's office in the town of Tarmiya, police sources told Al Jazeera.
One attacker wearing an explosive belt blew himself up on Tuesday at the structure, which also houses the town's police station and other government offices.
