Talks break down between Honduras' political factions

TEGUCIGALPA, * Honduras
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Washington asked coup-torn Honduras' opposing political factions to be more flexible about ways to resolve the country's 4-month-old crisis, as a delegation led by a senior U.S. official arrived Wednesday in hopes of spurring further dialogue.
Talks between representatives of the interim government and supporters of ousted President Manuel Zelaya have broken over a key point
— whether Zelaya will be reinstated — with a previously scheduled election looming in November.
Tom Shannon, U.S. assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere Affairs, led the delegation, which includes his department's No. 2, Craig Kelly, and Dan Restrepo, President Barack Obama's point man on Latin America to the National Security Council.
They did not speak to reporters before heading into meetings, but U.S. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said the diplomats planned to talk to both camps.
"They're urging both sides to show flexibility and redouble their efforts to bring this crisis to an end," Kelly told reporters Wednesday in Washington.
Kelly said U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who called both leaders this weekend, "believes that the United States could play a constructive role now to encourage all sides to return to the negotiating table."
The international community, including the United States, wants Zelaya returned to office.
But the government of Robert Micheletti, sworn in as interim president after the coup, says Zelaya was legally removed from office June 28 after he defied a court order to cancel a referendum on whether to rewrite the constitution. It accuses the leftist
leader of attempting to lift a ban on presidential term limits, something Zelaya denies.
Micheletti said Tuesday that talks should resume after the Nov. 29 elections and that the vote will resolve the crisis — despite warnings from Zelaya and a number of countries and international bodies that they will not recognize the election if Zelaya is not back in office by then.
Also Wednesday, the Micheletti government said it is filing a
complaint with the International Court of Justice in the Hague to demand Brazil stop sheltering Zelaya at its embassy in Tegucigalpa. It accuses Brazil of violating its diplomatic status and could seek unspecified compensation for alleged damages to the Honduran state, according to a statement from Carlos Lopez, the interim foreign minister.
Zelaya, who was escorted out of the country by soldiers at gunpoint on June 28, has been inside the diplomatic compound.

William called 911 soon after and told the dispatcher he had just stabbed his brother.
“It’s actually a confession on tape,” McLugh said. “He’s actually describing what occurred. This was definitely not accidental.”
McHugh said the tape won't be released publicly because it's considered evidence.

Roderman did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press.
"It's something he can't even fathom." Roderman told the newspaper. "This is a very beautiful and wonderful family. They can't even believe it happened."
He said they "fought like every other brothers do, but they don't fight in an unusual way."
