Police had earlier put the death toll from the car bombing near al-Khilani square at 11.
Four days ago, a convoy carrying US State Department officials was attacked by gunmen in the same area.
US military helicopters helped security forces repel the attack.
None of the State Department officials were hurt but police in Sinak said four civilians were killed and 11 were wounded in the incident.
