Ousted president Zelaya takes flight for Honduras

None

Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya departed on a flight for his country on Sunday, but the interim government that has defied international pressure over last week's coup said it would not let his plane land.

 

Zelaya had left Washington shortly before on a chartered plane, accompanied by UN General Assembly President Miguel D'Escoto, according to Venezuela's foreign minister and Caracas-based Telesur regional television, which showed images of the ousted president boarding an aircraft. (Reuters)
