Kabul bomb targets foreign contractors, kills mostly Afghans

A car bomb targeting a convoy carrying civilian NATO contractors killed 12 people outside a Kabul hospital on Saturday, part of a wave of attacks in the capital since news broke last month of the death of Taliban leader Mullah Omar. “Twelve dead bodies and 66 wounded people were taken to several Kabul hospitals,” health official Kabir Amiry said. “Some were in a bad condition.” In a statement the Taliban denied it was behind the attack.
