Ousted Honduran leader: Israeli mercenaries are trying to kill me

Eighty nine days after being ousted from office in an opposition coup, ex-Honduran president Manuel Zelaya has claimed in an interview with an American newspaper that Israeli mercenaries are trying to kill him.

"We are being threatened with death" Zelaya told the Miami Herald, adding that "Israeli mercenaries" are torturing him with high-frequency radiation at his refuge at the Brazilian embassy, where he has been since returning to the Central American country on Monday.

"I prefer to march on my feet than to live on my knees before a military dictatorship," Zelaya said, after telling the newspaper that the mercenaries were likely to storm the embassy and assassinate him.

The report also quoted a Honduran police spokesman as saying he knew nothing of any radiation devices being used against the former president.

"He says there are mercenaries against him? Using some kind of apparatus?" the spokesman was quoted as saying. "No, no, no, no, sincerely no. The only elements surrounding that embassy are police and military, and they have no such apparatus."

Zelaya was ousted at gunpoint on June 28 and returned to the country on Monday, two days before he was scheduled to speak before the United Nations General Assembly.
