"It was a car bomb," rebel military spokesman Omar Ahmed Bani told AFP.
The explosion took place about 200 metres (yards) from a seafront rebel headquarters in an area where anti-Kadhafi rallies are held daily and where families take evening strolls.
"A white Chevrolet blew up just before evening prayers," said Libyan journalist Nasser Warfuli at the scene. "We don't know who did it."
Another witness, Mohammed Baluri, said he believed it was the work of "Kadhafi cells."
Doctors at al-Jalaa hospital said two people had suffered superficial shrapnel injuries in the blast and one had already been discharged. The other had injuries to his back and to his head.
This was the first car bomb in Benghazi since the Libyan uprising started in mid-February.
