The attack took place in the morning when a suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest at a crowded site near al-Tayaran Square where many construction workers were gathered, Xinhua quoted an interior ministry source as saying.
Another blast followed when a roadside bomb went off at the scene.
Last week, a suicide bombing in Baghdad killed eight and wounded at least 10 others when the blast struck a northern Baghdad neighbourhood targeting a police checkpoint on a busy street.
