Post-coup leader offers to step down

Honduras’ interim leader said he is willing to step down if it helps end his country’s political crisis but only if ousted President Manuel Zelaya isn’t allowed to regain power.

Roberto Micheletti, the former congressional leader who was selected by politicians to serve out the final six months of Mr Zelaya’s term, presented the offer as a means to end the nearly three-week standoff over Honduras’ military-backed coup.
