Chadian rebels loyal to former President Goukouni Oueddei have agreed to a cease-fire with the government of President Hissen Habre, a spokesman for the rebel forces said. He said the accord was reached with the Chad government Oct. 24. It was unclear which factions of the Libyan-backed rebel coalition have accepted the agreement. Goukouni, who has said he was ready to negotiate with Habre, was placed under house arrest last month in Tripoli, capital of Libya, and was later wounded in a gun battle with Libyan soldiers.
