Pray for peace

Philippine National Police officers light candles and offer prayers at the flower-bedecked site, where eight Hong Kong tourists were killed in a 12-hour bus hostage standoff on Aug. 23 involving a dismissed police officer, at Manila's Rizal Park in the Philippines on Tuesday,. The “Mass for Peace and Nonviolence” was held as the Philippines worked to calm China's outrage over the bloodshed. AP/Bullit Marquez
