TEGUCIGALPA, July 31 (Xinhua) -- Honduras' interim government on Friday threatened taking "reciprocal" measures on the U.S. diplomat officers after the U.S. embassy revoked visas for four Honduras officials.

    The interim Foreign Ministry said "the government ... reserves its right to reciprocally apply the cancellation of visas to the (U.S.) diplomat staff."

    On Wednesday, the U.S. embassy revoked four Honduras officials involved in the coup, a move hailed by ousted President Manuel Zelaya.

    "None of the people whose visas were canceled have committed crimes of corruption, terrorism, drug trafficking, embezzlement or others," said the ministry in a statement.

    The four officials are Tomas Arita Valle, the Supreme Court justice who signed the order for Zelaya's arrest, Jose Alfredo Saavedra, president of the National Congress, Defense Minister Adolfo Lionel Sevilla and Human Rights commissioner Ramon Custodio.

    Those Honduran "can impugn those cancellations at the judicial authorities in the United States according to law," said the ministry.

    The United States has refused to recognize the government led by post-coup leader Roberto Micheletti. The U.S. government said it was reviewing visas of all officials in Honduras ' interim government.
