World Photos

In this photo taken Wednesday, Dec. 23, 2009, a Pakistani christian vendor selling balloons, is seen reflected on a puddle of sewage at the Christian neighborhood in Gojra, Pakistan. There are no Christmas decorations among the tents housing dozens of Christian families left homeless by the worst violence against minorities in Pakistan this year. Instead, there is a pervasive sense of fear. They have been threatened with a 'special Christmas present,' they say, and are terrified of their tents being torched or their Christmas services being bombed.
