U.S. denies role in Zelaya flight
Tegucigalpa
The U.S. military said Sunday its troops in Honduras did not
know of and played no role in a flight that took ousted President
Manuel Zelaya to exile during a military coup.
Zelaya says the Honduran military plane that flew him to
Costa Rica on June 28 stopped to refuel at Soto Cano, a Honduran
air base that is home to 600 U.S. soldiers, sailors and airmen
engaged in counternarcotics operations and other missions in
Central America.
U.S. forces at Soto Cano “were not involved in the flight that
carried President Zelaya to Costa Rica on June 28,”Southern
Command spokesman Robert Appin said in an e-mail. The
American troops “had no knowledge or part in the decisions
made for the plane to land, refuel and take off.”
