Former vice president assumes power in Ecuador
Vice President Gustavo Noboa took control of Ecuador's government early Saturday after a three-man junta deposed the country's president Jamil Mahuad, junta member Carlos Mendoza said in a statement.

Mendoza said he now refused to take part in the junta which orchestrated the overthrow on Friday. Some reports said the junta had now been dissolved.

Mendoza, who until Friday had been defense minister in Mahuad's government, added that he had decided to voluntarily leave the military.

Mendoza said he had agreed to take part in the coup to prevent protests over the economy which had rocked Ecuador for more than two weeks from turning violent.

His statement gave no clue to the whereabouts of Mahuad.

The other members of the junta were indigenous leader Antonio Vargas and former Supreme Court judge Carlos Solorzano y Vargas.
