TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - The Honduran Supreme Court said it had ordered the army to oust President Manuel Zelaya on Sunday because of his unlawful plan to hold a public vote on presidential re-election.

"It acted to defend the rule of law," the court said in a statement read on Honduran radio, after the army took Zelaya from his home at dawn and flew him to nearby Costa Rica in the first military coup in Central America since the Cold War.
