Zelaya Cancels Exit to Mexico
-----------------------------



In Honduras, the ousted president Manuel Zelaya has canceled an exit to
Mexico after the coup regime apparently refused to assure his safe
passage. Zelaya was planning on leaving Honduras late Wednesday night.
But sources close to the Honduran president say he was forced to delay
the plan after the coup regime demanded he sign a document affirming the
legality of his ouster. Aides say Zelaya does not want to leave Honduras
to seek asylum, but to be in a better position to rally international
support against the coup regime before his term expires next month.
Zelaya has been holed up in the Brazilian embassy under military siege
since returning to Honduras in September.
