                       5 Killed in Pakistan Mine Collapse

   by VOA News

   Officials in northwestern Pakistan said at least five people were
   killed after heavy rains caused a coal mine to collapse.

   Twenty-six miners were pulled out from the mine that caved in Saturday
   in the Orakzai tribal region.

   Authorities said rescue operations continue despite ongoing inclement
   weather.

   Pakistani mines are known for their poor safety standards and bad
   ventilation.
