In a separate incident, a government employee was killed when a sticky bomb attached to his car detonated while he was driving near the entrance of Fallujah, the source said.
In Iraq's eastern province of Diyala, a parliament member escaped unharmed a roadside bomb explosion near his car while he was leaving his house in the city of Maqdadiyah, some 110 km northeast of Baghdad, a source from Diyala's provincial operations command told Xinhua anonymously.
One of the lawmaker's bodyguards was wounded by the attack, the source said.
