Washington - US President Barack Obama on Sunday expressed his deep concern about developments in Honduras, where soldiers reportedly had seized President Manuel Zelaya in an apparent coup. In a White House statement, Obama said he backed the call by the Organisation of American States (OAS) urging all the parties in the Central American country to respect the democratic and legal rules.
