Kurdish militant chief denies links to suspect in Paris murders

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - A Kurdish militant commander denied the suspect held over the killing of three activists in Paris was a member of his group, accusing the Turkish state of involvement in the murders in an interview with a rebel-linked news agency.

The murders overshadowed Turkey's moves to begin peace talks with the rebels and their top field commander, Murat Karayilan, said on Wednesday the government was conducting a "psychological war" rather than sincerely trying to end the conflict.
