Coup leaders in Honduras today defied an international deadline for President Manuel Zelaya to return to power within 72 hours and said only a foreign invasion could reinstate him.
Roberto Micheletti, the interim leader of a government that forced Zelaya into exile last Sunday, said his predecessor would be arrested if he returned to the central American country.
Arrest warrants have been issued accusing the ousted leader of 18 crimes, including treason and abuse of authority, and Interpol will be asked to detain him. Zelaya said he planned to return to Honduras, accompanied by Latin American officials, this weekend.
