U.S. says to relay Brazil's U.N. request on Honduras

UNITED NATIONS | Tue Sep 22, 2009 8:44pm EDT

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States has received Brazil's request for an urgent meeting of the U.N. Security Council on the Honduran crisis and will relay it to other members of the body, a U.S. official said on Tuesday.

The United States currently chairs the 15-member council. Deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, ousted from power in a June coup, took refuge in Brazil's embassy in the capital Tegucigalpa after returning to his country on Monday.
