Ousted Honduran president steps into homeland

EL PARAISO, Honduras Zelaya says he was forced to act on his own after U.S.-backed talks failed to reach a negotiated settlement with the coup-installed government to reinstate him.

That government has vowed to arrest him if he tries to return.

Zelaya crossed the border on Friday from Nicaragua, but went only a few steps as he waited for military officials to contact him.
