Tourists attacked by machete-wielding men in Papua New Guinea

A group of Australian and New Zealand hikers have been attacked and injured in Papua New Guinea by machete and spear-wielding men, with two guides hacked to death. The deadly incident happened at dusk on Tuesday after the group set up their tents along the popular and rugged Black Cat Track in the lawless Pacific nation's northern Morobe province, with robbery the suspected motive. "The attack resulted in the deaths of two PNG nationals who were porters for the group," Australia's department of foreign affairs (DFAT) said. "Other members of the group, including eight Australians, one New Zealander and a number of PNG nationals, sustained injuries during the attack, however none of the injuries are life-threatening."
