Zelaya Plans Another Attempt to Return to Honduras
July 6 (Bloomberg) -- Manuel Zelaya, the deposed Honduran president, will attempt to re-enter the country again this week after the acting government prevented his plane from landing yesterday and several of his supporters were shot at a rally.

Honduras closed the international airport in Tegucigalpa for 48 hours today, Carlos Pacheco, a legal adviser at the airport, said in a phone interview. The closure came after two protesters died yesterday during a clash between Zelaya’s supporters and the military at the airport.

Zelaya is still in San Salvador and he will return to Honduras on July 8, Luis Roland Valenzuela, housing minister under Zelaya, told reporters today in Tecucigalpa.

“They deceived us,” Valenzuela said, citing an agreement with Micheletti that would have allowed Zelaya to land. “He wanted to land and Micheletti had said that it was fine.”
I doubt that seriously ...
The U.S. State Department called for the restoration of “democratic order” in Honduras, and for Zelaya’s reinstatement. “We deplore the use of force against demonstrators” in the country’s capital of Tegucigalpa, State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said at a news conference today in Washington.
How about violent demonstrators?
The exiled leader will head to the U.S. tomorrow, Kelly said. He spent last week touring Central America and the U.S. gathering support and winning a unanimous vote at the Organization of American States to suspend Honduras.

Micheletti put out an arrest warrant and vowed to block Zelaya’s return, warning his arrival could trigger violence.
