KABUL, Afghanistan - Assailants abducted and beheaded an Afghan intelligence service employee and struck one of the agency's vehicles with a remote-controlled bomb in a separate attack, killing six employees and wounding three, officials said Monday.

The latest violence follows a bomb attack Sunday that killed two intelligence service officers, a soldier and a driver in Mehtar Lam, the capital of eastern Laghman province.

On Monday in Laghman's Alingar district, an intelligence service vehicle driving from neighboring Nuristan province was hit by a remote-controlled bomb, said provincial police chief Abdul Karim. He said six of the agency's workers were killed, while three others were wounded.
