Pakistan Actually Attacks Tribal Militants

An airstrike hit a group of militants in Northwest Pakistan.

At least 45 people have been killed in air strikes targeting militants in north-western Pakistan, security officials said.

Militants' family members were among those killed in the raids in the Khyber tribal district, said the officials.

Pakistani jet fighters pounded targets in the Tirah valley from which suicide attacks were being prepared, according to the officials.

Pakistan has stepped up strikes near the Afghan border in recent months.
