60 dead in Pakistan

Officials say nearly 60 people have been killed in a series of attacks by US drones in the past 24 hours in Pakistan's Khyber tribal district.



At least 50 died in three unmanned air strikes in the Tirah Valley, a day after seven others were killed nearby.



Security officials say all the dead in the attacks are militants.



But the claim cannot be independently confirmed.



Meanwhile, US intelligence confirms the CIA has withdrawn its top spy from Pakistan, amid threats to his life.
