Honduras: Coup plotters 'hire Israeli mercenaries'

Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya has accused the coup regime of hiring Israeli mercenaries to flush him out of the Brazilian embassy with ultrasonic weapons.

Mr Zelaya said on Thursday he feared they may enter the building and assassinate him.

"They are threatening to kill us," he said, adding that he has begun to suffer from throat pains resulting from poisonous gases being leaked into the embassy in Tegucigalpa.

Witnesses have confirmed that soldiers installed some kind of device in front of the embassy on Thursday that emitted high-pitched sound. More
