Honduras Talks Resume; Coup Forces Fire Tear Gas at Protesters
--------------------------------------------------------------



In Honduras, talks resumed Wednesday between international mediators,
the coup regime and representatives of the ousted Honduran president
Manuel Zelaya. The meeting marked the first round of negotiations since
coup leaders rejected a Costa Rica-brokered plan in July. Shortly before
the talks began, police fired tear gas at hundreds of Zelaya supporters
as they marched near the US embassy. At least two people were
hospitalized with injuries.
