ISTANBUL, July 10 (Reuters) - Kurdish rebels said they would not release three German tourists kidnapped in eastern Turkey until Germany halted its policies against the militant group, a news agency close to the guerrillas said on Thursday.

Firat news agency reported the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants as saying the three Germans, who were part of a climbing expedition in Agri province, were in good health. (Reporting by Daren Butler)
