Coup Rep. Denies Agreement in Honduras Talks
--------------------------------------------



In Honduras, conflicting accounts have emerged from the latest round of
talks between the coup regime and representatives of the ousted
President Manuel Zelaya. On Wednesday, both a Zelaya negotiator and a
top coup official said a tentative deal had been struck on the key point
of Zelaya’s return to office. But a coup regime negotiator later denied
a deal had been reached and said the talks would continue today.
Meanwhile, pro-Zelaya demonstrators continued to rally outside the hotel
where the talks have taken place.

Protester: “We hope that today we get white smoke from the ninth floor
of the Clarion Hotel. We hope that these authorities who have come here,
these international organisms, truly lend a hand in Honduras.”
