Ousted Honduran president vows peaceful resistance

Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya vowed on Saturday to return to power through peaceful means and denied he was rallying groups of armed supporters near the border with Nicaragua. Zelaya, in exile in Nicaragua, also lamented the death of one of his supporters who was shot during a protest last week. The man died of his injuries early on Saturday, as efforts to resolve the crisis over the June 28 coup remained stalemated. "I am not forming any armed military force, although I have the means to do it because I come from a state where there are weapons everywhere," Zelaya, a logging magnate originally from the ranching state of Olancho, told Honduran television. "We do not use arms," the left-leaning Zelaya said.
