The Honduran military blocked the plane from landing and they also shut down protests including killing one protester. The ousted president had flown to Honduras together with Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann of the UN.
Honduras was in turmoil last night as President Manuel Zelaya attempted to return and topple coup leaders who ousted him, prompting deadly clashes between his supporters and security forces.Zelaya is now targeting another attempt either today or Tuesday.
The president flew from Washington towards home in a high-stakes effort to reclaim power, sparking dramatic scenes at the airport in the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa, where soldiers and police squared off against thousands of demonstrators.
After the interim government refused Zelaya permission to land and parked military vehicles on the runway, he was forced to divert the plane to the Nicaraguan capital, Managua, where it later landed.
