A car bomb, thought to have targeted foreign security personnel in Kabul on Saturday, has killed at least 12 people and wounded dozens more.<br /><br /> Three NATO contractors are believed to be among the dead. At least one of those killed is a foreigner.<br /><br /> The force of the blast destroyed several vehicles, including a school van and a pick-up truck left twisted and blackened, with another vehicle in flames. Paramedics carried away casualties on stretchers.<br /><br /> “Twelve dead bodies and 66 wounded people were taken to several Kabul hospitals,” health official Kabir Amiry said. “Some were in a bad condition.”<br /><br /> There was no immediate claim of responsibility for what some reports say was a suicide bombing. <br /><br /> The blast, near a hospital, is the latest in a wave of attacks to hit the Afghan capital since news broke in July of the death of the Taliban leader Mullah Omar.<br /><br /> Minutes after the explosion ripped through the residential street, British and US soldiers arrived at the scene in armoured vehicles.
