Aide: US-brokered pact for Honduran crisis fails

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) - A negotiator for ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya says a U.S.-brokered pact to end a four-month political crisis has failed after a deadline for forming a unity government passed.

Victor Meza says the pact has fallen apart because Congress failed to vote on whether to reinstate Zelaya to office before a Thursday deadline for forming the unity government.

The accord forged last week with the help of U.S. diplomats did not require Zelaya's return to the presidency. It left the decision up to Congress.
