Honduras' Aviation Agency has said the country's ousted President Manuel Zelaya has had to redirect his plane to El Salvador. This is because the interim government will not allow him to land in Honduras.

After talks with leaders from the Organization of American States, Zelaya set out from Washington, intending to recover his legal status.

The OAS suspended Honduras as a member late Saturday. It had given the Honduran government until Saturday to reinstate Zelaya.

Supporters were waiting for him at Toncontin Airport, in Honduras' capital.

But the interim government sealed the streets around the airport.

Interim President Roberto Micheletti also ordered the military to prevent the landing of a plane carrying Zelaya... or any unidentified planes.
