Several mortar bombs landed at another gas station in a nearby district, wounding six people.
Baghdad residents often queue for hours at gas stations for fuel, and insurgents have targeted them.
Suicide bombers attacked two gas stations on August 1, killing 70 people.
Also, the U.S. military said today that one of its soldiers has died of injuries sustained during a bomb attack near the Iraqi capital.
The military said the soldier was wounded when the roadside bomb exploded alongside a military vehicle during combat operations near Baghdad on August 4.
