The interim government's Security Minister Mario Perdomo said on Saturday that they are "ready to execute the capture order" against Zelaya.

Perdomo said the triumphant lifting border chain and the few symbolic steps Zelaya took didn't count as an entry for "In reality he didn't enter the Honduran territory."

The curfew on Honduras-Nicaragua border was extended on Saturday for half a day from 6 pm local time (0000 GMT) to 6 am (1200 GMT).

In Tegucigalpa, Micheletti's government received a visiting delegation of US lawmakers, who intends to discuss the on-going crisis inside Honduras.

On June 28, a group of armed soldiers broke into Zelaya's residence and forced the leader to leave the country. While he appeared in pajamas hours later in Costa Rica, the Honduran Congress read a resignation letter allegedly by Zelaya and named Micheletti as his replacement.
