Honduras: Military Police Use Tear Gas to Oust Zelaya, Other Lawmakers 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Honduras, military police have deployed tear gas to forcibly evacuate
members of Congress, including ousted president Manuel Zelaya. Zelaya
and other lawmakers had reportedly been occupying Congress to protest
their exclusion from key debates, when police moved to oust them on
Tuesday. Zelaya was among those reportedly injured, and photos showed
him apparently overcome by tear gas. The previous night a member of
Zelaya's LIBRE party was shot and injured in an attack.
