Micheletti:
Honduran Army Ready For Any External Threats
Tegucigalpa -
Newly-appointed Honduran acting President
Roberto Micheletti said on Sunday the
country's armed forces are ready to cope
with any external threats.
In response to criticism by Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez, Micheletti said the
military had done what they should to defend
the dignity of the country's constitution,
brushing aside allegation that the army had
staged a military coup.
The Honduran government has been fully
prepared to respond to all possible threats
from "any forces or groups," he added.
Hundreds of troops stormed the presidential
residency in Honduras' capital Tegucigalpa
in the early hours on Sunday. Zelaya was
taken onto a plane and exiled to Costa Rica.
Honduras' congress named speaker Roberto
Micheletti as the interim president, who
announced a curfew.
