The official said a number of civilian vehicles and nearby buildings were damaged in the explosion and security forces sealed off the scene.
No one has so far claimed responsibility of the attack and investigations are underway, said the source.
Violence is escalating in war-ravaged Iraq as al-Qaida's Iraqi affiliate has announced to launch more attacks in the nation.
