By Steven Bodzin

July 5 (Bloomberg) -- The plane carrying deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was unable to land in Tegucigalpa, the Central American country’s capital, because of vehicles blocking the runway.

Zelaya, speaking from the plane in an interview on the Telesur network, said the plane will head toward El Salvador where he will meet with allies. He vowed to try to enter Honduras tomorrow or at a later date.
