Honduras: Obama BFF Zelaya Fails in Attempt to Re-Enter Country

Zelaya tried to fly back from Washington and land in Tegucigalpa, but clashes between his supporters and troops at the airport forced him to abort his plan one week after troops seized him in his pajamas and bundled him out of the country.
