Argentine diplomats expelled

The interim government of Honduras has ordered all Argentine diplomats to leave the country within three days.



It said the move is in response to the expulsion of its ambassador last week by Buenos Aires, one of the strongest critics of the military-backed coup in June.



The Honduran ambassador was told to go because of her public support for the overthrow of President Manuel Zelaya.



Mr Zelaya was ousted and exiled amid a power struggle over his proposals for a consultation on constitutional change.
