Tegucigalpa - At least one person was injured in clashes Sunday between soldiers and hundreds of supporters of ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya at Toncontin airport in Tegucigalpa.
Local television showed the injured young woman being loaded into a Red Cross ambulance.
She had been among the crowd gathered to welcome Zelaya on his planned return Sunday, a week after he was seized by the Honduran military and expelled to Costa Rica. On Sunday, Zelaya was not allowed to land in the Honduran capital, and his plane was diverted to El Salvador.
Honduran daily El Heraldo reported that the Honduran Army used tear gas and fired into the air to disperse Zelaya supporters who were getting ready to occupy the airport.
