Marchers call for end to violence
From Times Wire Reports
About 30,000 Hondurans wearing white and waving handkerchiefs marched in the northern city of San Pedro Sula to condemn a bloody crime wave fueled by violence between rival drug gangs.

Some marchers carried photographs of relatives killed in the violence.
