WASHINGTON -- Seven Central Intelligence Agency officers and contractors were killed and six more wounded in a suicide bomb attack in Afghanistan, the CIA Director Leon Panetta said Thursday, the second largest single-day loss for the spy agency in its history.

Among the casualties was the agency's base chief, former intelligence officials said.

Former intelligence officials said Thursday that the slain CIA base chief was a mother of three.
