Rebel Kurds declare end to cease-fire

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) -- A Kurdish guerrilla group declared an 
end to a cease-fire offer, the Germany-based Kurdish news 
agency DEM said Friday.

The Kurdistan Workers' Party decided to end the eight-month 
truce after Turkey failed to call off its crackdowns on 
separatist rebels, DEM reported.
  
More than 21,000 people have died in fighting since rebel 
Kurds began their campaign for autonomy in southeast Turkey
12 years ago.
