Earlier, a suicide bomb attack on the main police headquarters in Islamabad wounded at least eight people.
The bombings came just over two weeks after more than 50 people were killed and more than 260 wounded in a suicide bombing at the capital's Marriott hotel.
They also happened as parliament met in a special session for a second day for a classified security briefing on Pakistan's internal security situation.
The joint session was called to try to help form a national consensus on how to tackle Islamic militancy and the surge in suicide bombings.
