Associated Press Writer= TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — Honduras' interim government on Sunday expelled personnel from the Organization of American States looking to set up a mediation effort and gave Brazil a 10-day ultimatum to decide what to do with ousted President Manuel Zelaya, who is holed up in the Brazilian Embassy.

OAS Special Adviser John Biehl told reporters in the capital, Tegucigalpa, that he and four other members of an advance team — including two Americans, a Canadian and a Colombian — were stopped by authorities after landing at Tegucigalpa's airport Sunday. Biehl, who is Chilean, said he was later told he could stay, but the others were put aboard flights out of the country.

"A high-ranking official told us we were expelled, that we had not notified (the interim government) that we were coming," he said.

"For reasons I completely do not know, as we were getting in a line for the flight (out), a colonel in civilian dress called my name ... and said I could decide then and there if I wanted to stay."
