With the rise in violence against political leaders and other people of means in many Latin American countries, armored cars are increasingly popular. At a plant in Cagua, Venezuela, armored cars are assembled that include bullet-resistant windows (top) and interior adaptations (center and above) of the car's body. Esteban Papp, who sells materials for the industry in Venezuela, said he saw a Jeep that took at least six bullets in its back window and door in an attack. The metal was dented and the glass broke, but not a single shot penetrated and the driver escaped safely. (Associated Press)
