Ousted Honduran president signs pact with govt

Representatives of ousted president Manuel Zelaya finally reached an agreement with the interim government that could help end the dispute over Honduras’ June 28 coup, and possibly pave the way for Mr Zelaya’s reinstatement.

The Organisation of American States (OAS) announced the deal late last night but did not release a text of the accord, in which Mr Zelaya appears to have agreed to throw his fate into the hands of a congress that has largely supported interim President Roberto Micheletti.
