Two attacks by three suicide bombers have killed at least 30 Iraqi soldiers and security personnel in the country's western Anbar province.

Tuesday's attacks, which security sources said were undertaken by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), targeted an army checkpoint and a mosque on the same day the Iraqi army marked its 94th anniversary.

Security sources told Al Jazeera that at least seven soldiers were killed and 13 wounded in a morning attack involving a car bomb at an army checkpoint at the Wadi Houran bridge near the town of Haditha.

Later on Tuesday, two suicide bombers, followed by gunmen, struck a mosque in the town of al-Jubba town, where soldiers were believed to have been resting.

At least 10 soldiers and 13 security personnel died in the attack and subsequent clashes.

At least 24 ISIL fighters were reportedly killed in Tuesday's clashes and were said to be now in control of the town.

Al-Jubba town is located near the al-Asad military base - where US military personnel are deployed - and the town of Baghdadi, an area that has seen heavy fighting between Iraqi security forces and ISIL
