Troops arrest Honduran president *LINK*

Honduran President Manuel Zelaya has been arrested by troops ahead of a controversial constitutional referendum.

Mr Zelaya's private secretary told AP news agency the president had been arrested and brought to a base on the outskirts of the capital, Tegucigalpa.

The move comes days after the president sacked the armed forces chief, who had refused to back the refendendum plan.

Mr Zelaya wants a constitutional change allowing him to seek a second term.

An AP reporter saw dozens of soldiers surround the president's house on Sunday morning and about 60 police guarding the house.

A decision in Congress last week seemed to have halted plans for the referendum, which had been due to take place on Sunday, after the courts also deemed unlawful.
