The gunmen, whose identity is unclear, used the butt of a rifle to beat the two internationals and a security guard was hit in the leg by a bullet. Most aid workers there pulled back to the nearby town of Goz Beida, and aid sources said humanitarian agencies would decide on Monday whether to evacuate all their staff from the area.
