"Kurdish rebels free Turkish policeman after more than three months' captivity
Ankara, Jan. 27 (AP): Turkish Kurdish rebels released a Turkish policeman in northern Iraq on Friday after keeping him hostage for more than three months, human rights activists said.
Hakan Acil was released in the Iraqi border town of Zakho, said Kiraz Bicici, deputy head of Turkey's Human Rights Association.
Kurdish guerrillas abducted Acil on Oct. 9 after stopping his car at a roadblock near the southeastern town of Midyat, near the Syrian and Iraqi borders.
Turkish troops had been searching for him for months."
