Report: Kurdish rebels extend cease-fire

None

A Turkish news agency said Kurdish rebels have extended by a week a unilateral cease-fire that they declared for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

 

The suspension of attacks, declared on Aug. 13, would have expired on Monday. But the pro-Kurdish Firat news agency quotes the rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, as saying the group will assess the situation in Turkey before deciding next week whether to extend its cease-fire. (AP)
