The attack came one day after three car bombs killed at least 60 people in the town of Balad, just north of Baghdad.
In February, a suicide car bomb attack on a crowd in Hilla killed 125 people.
Yesterday, U.S. General George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, said just one of the 120 U.S.-trained Iraqi Army and police battalions is able to operate without U.S. assistance. In July, the Pentagon had said the number was three.
