**At least 73 civilians have been killed after army jets bombed a remote village in Pakistan’s tribal region of Khyber, a local official has told the BBC.**He said that the incident took place on Saturday, but news was slow in getting out because of the inaccessibility of the region.
The jets were involved in operations against Taliban militants in the nearby Orakzai tribal region.
Hundreds of people have been killed in air strikes across the tribal regions.
The military claims most of them are militants, but independent sources say many civilians have also been killed.This article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
