 KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) - Communist rebels and the government have extended a cease-fire for another three months to allow talks aimed at ending Nepal's decade-long conflict to continue, a rebel spokesman said Friday.
The two sides declared a cease fire April 27 after King Gyanendra ceded most of his power to a new parliamentary government. That accord was due to expire on Thursday.
The government and the Maoist rebels have held at least three rounds of peace talks since then, but have made little progress in recent weeks.
