Ousted Honduran President Alleges Toxic Gas in Brazilian Embassy
2009-09-27
Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, who has taken refuge in Brazil's Embassy in Tegucigalpa, has accused the interim government of using toxic gas to poison those inside the embassy.

A doctor was seen treating people at the embassy Friday. Mr. Zelaya charged that gas caused breathing difficulties and bleeding.

The caretaker government of Roberto Micheletti denied sending toxic gas into the embassy. Mr. Micheletti told the Associated Press during an interview Friday that international treaties on diplomatic relations are being "obeyed in every possible way."

Mr. Micheletti accused Mr. Zelaya of taking a hardline position that is stalling talks on resolving the political crisis. He said the ousted president told negotiators the only options are "restitution or death".

#6  Of course he smells - he's a POS. I'm surprised he hasn't been thrown over the embassy wall.
