Honduras' President Manuel Zelaya is accompanied by Javier Sancho of the Ministry of Foreign Relations at Cariari hotel in Heredia, June 28, 2009. The Honduran army ousted and exiled leftist President Zelaya on Sunday in Central America's first military coup since the Cold War, triggered by his bid to make it legal to seek another term in office. A former businessman who sports a cowboy hat and thick mustache, Zelaya, 56, told Venezuela-based Telesur television station that he was "kidnapped" by soldiers and barely given time to change out of his pajamas. He was later bundled onto a military plane to Costa Rica. REUTERS/Juan Carlos Ulate (COSTA RICA POLITICS CONFLICT)
