Two days of talks in Costa Rica aimed at ending the political crisis in Honduras have ended without agreement.

Mediators from the host country said the two sides had agreed to resume talks shortly but some regional leaders said they saw little sign of progress.

Ousted President Manuel Zelaya and interim leader Roberto Micheletti had refused to meet but held separate talks with Costa Rican President Oscar Arias.

Correspondents say the former allies' positions remain far apart.

Mr Zelaya, who was removed from Honduras at gun point in a coup last month, continues to describe Mr Micheletti as a criminal, while Mr Micheletti's interim government has said Mr Zelaya will be arrested if he tries to return to the country.

Both men left the talks on Thursday, leaving delegations behind to continue the discussions.

1. Who could have seen that coming.

Sorry to just snark but, this is really bad. There are terrible things happening in Honduras right now.

For example, did you hear that they've "detained" the father of the 12 year old the army killed last Sunday? They didn't want him talking to anyone about how his son died.

2. What's there to negotiate?

Micheletti has 2 choices: He can step down or he can be taken under Venezuelan or Nicaraguan custody.

3. Are you suggesting armed intevention by those nations?
