OAS gives Honduras ultimatum

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras: Honduras' interim leader warned that the only way his predecessor will return to office is through a foreign invasion - though a potential showdown with the ousted president was delayed due to action yesterday by the Organization of American States (OAS).

A defiant Roberto Micheletti said in an interview late on Tuesday that "no one can make me resign," defying the United Nations, the OAS, the Obama administration and other leaders that have condemned the military coup that overthrew President Manuel Zelaya.

The UN General Assembly voted by acclamation on Tuesday to demand Zelaya's immediate restoration, and the Organization of American States said yesterday that coup leaders have three days to restore Zelaya to power before Honduras risks being suspended from the group.
