Honduran ex-president: US was behind my overthrow
Former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya accused the United States of being behind the 2009 coup that ousted him, in a letter released Monday on the first anniversary of his ouster.
Zelaya, who now lives in the Dominican Republic, has given conflicting accounts on what role the United States allegedly played in the coup, in which Honduran soldiers hustled him out of the country on June 28, 2009.
He has alternately praised the policy of the U.S. government on the issue, and also criticized Washington for not pressing harder for his reinstatement.
But Monday's letter said flatly: "What we suspected at the beginning has now been confirmed. The United States was behind the coup."
