Pakistan 'Army Air Strike Kills Dozens Of Civilians' -- BBCAt least 73 civilians were killed when an army jet bombed a remote village in Pakistan's tribal region of Khyber, a local official has told the BBC.
He said the incident took place on Saturday but news was slow in being reported because of the inaccessibility of the region.
The jet was involved in operations against Taliban militants in the nearby Orakzai tribal region.
Many people have died in air strikes in the area over the past 18 months.
The military insists most of them are militants, but independent sources say many civilians have also been killed.
Villagers say another strike - by a US drone missile - killed 13 people on Monday.
