Bodies lie on the floor of a pool
hall, after an attack by unidentified masked assailants, in Choloma, on
the outskirts of San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
A wave of violence has made
Honduras one of the most dangerous places on Earth, with an annual rate
of 86 murders per 100,000 inhabitants. San Pedro Sula, often cited as
Honduras’ most violent city, has a murder rate double the national
average. Criminal gangs operate almost with impunity, imposing reigns of
extortion, murder, and drug trafficking.
