Ousted president arrives at Honduran border


LAS MANOS, Nicaragua (Reuters) - Ousted President Manuel Zelaya arrived at Honduras' border on Friday vowing to return to power, but he held off from crossing into his country, where he faces an order for his arrest.Accompanied by a pack of international reporters and television cameras, the ousted leader in his trademark cowboy hat approached the border in a white jeep before walking toward the border in the small Nicaraguan frontier town of Las Manos.The leftist president was toppled on June 28 after angering critics over his alliance with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a fierce critic of the United States.
