The powerful blast destroyed several nearby cars and many stalls selling vegetables and fruits, the source said.
The attack came a day after a suicide car bomb blast killed six mourners and wounded 15 others at a funeral in the city of Hadithain Iraq's once insurgent stronghold of Anbar province, where Fallujah is located.
