Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya says he wants to return to Honduras accompanied by the head of the Organization of American States.

Speaking in Nicaragua, Zelaya says he wants to make the trip on Thursday, together with OAS Secretary-General Jose Miguel Insulza.

Zelaya was seized by soldiers in his residence on Sunday and then forced to board a plane to Costa Rica.

The move came just hours ahead of a disputed referendum, which CRITICS had accused Zelaya of trying to use to remove presidential term limits.

The country's Supreme Court had earlier ruled that Zeyala's disputed referendum was illegal.

And after Zelaya was sent to Honduras, the Congress appointed Congress president, Roberto Micheletti, as the country's top leader. But Zelaya has refused to recognize any de facto government and has vowed to remain in power.
