KABUL: The NATO-led mission in Afghanistan said on Saturday that eight civilian contractors were killed along with one of its service members in an insurgent attack on a camp in Kabul.

The attack on Camp Integrity near the main airport was part of a wave of bombings across the Afghan capital on Friday that killed dozens of Afghan police and civilians.

The names and nationalities of the foreign military and civilian contractors killed were not released.
