KABUL, afghanistan

Afghan villagers discovered the beheaded bodies of six government contractors Sunday in the country’s restive south, the apparent victims of insurgents who regularly target state projects, officials said.

Meanwhile, the death toll from a suicide car bombing at the site of a key national council in the capital, Kabul, rose to 12, officials said, as NATO said an international service member was killed by a roadside bomb.

Kandahar police spokesman Ahmed Durrani said villagers found the bodies. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
