HONDURAN SOLDIERS PARTOL IMPOVERISHED NEIGHBORHOOD, 2002-03-05 (photo)

Honduran soldiers climb a ladder while patrolling the impoverished Campo Cielo neighborhood in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, March 5, 2002. Nearly 4000 soldiers and police are patrolling the streets of Tegucigalpa and three other Honduran cities in an effort by newly elected President Ricardo Maduro to cut back on soaring crime rates in the Central American country. The new "zero tolerance" policy has reduced violent crime by more than 70% but critics wonder how long the government can support the extra costs of the patrols. REUTERS/ Adam Bernstein. AB/SV
