MANAGUA, July 5 (Reuters) - The Nicaraguan army denied an accusation by the Honduran interim government that it was moving troops close to the border between the two countries in a dispute over the military coup in Honduras.

A Nicaraguan army spokesman told Reuters it was "totally false" that groups of Nicaraguan troops were moving near the border. (Reporting by Ivan Castro; editing by Mohammad Zargham)
