Gunmen kidnapped two Spanish aid workers with the international agency Medecins sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) in the north Somalia region of Puntland on Wednesday, their driver and a local official said.

"I was driving the two Spanish women to the local hospital, then six men armed with guns approached me, blocking the road," the Somali driver, who asked not to be named, told Reuters. "They hit me very badly and kidnapped the women in their car." (Editing by Tim Pearce)
