The explosion comes a day after a series of bombings targeted government buildings in Baghdad, killing at least 127 people and wounding more than 500.
Lawmakers have called top security officials to appear in parliament to answer questions over security lapses.
Meanwhile, funerals were starting in Baghdad for the bombing victims.
