Canberra, Australia-AP -- More aid workers are leaving Iraq.

The aid agency Care Australia says it's pulled its six international staff members out of Iraq. It's also telling its 70 Iraqi workers to stay at home following a weekend rocket attack on its Baghdad office.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation radio says Care Australia has also gotten a specific threat from a terror group that called itself the Iraqi Resistance.

The warning reportedly threatened more attacks on the agency's staffers and offices.

The Red Cross, United Nations, and other relief agencies have also pulled staff out of Iraq and cut back operations due to growing security threats.
