Los Angeles tour bus to show gang wars in ghetto

Only miles from the scenic vistas and celebrity mansions that draw sightseers from around the globe, a bus tour is rolling through the dark side of Los Angeles' gang turf.

Passengers paid 65 US dollars (39) a head and signed waivers acknowledging they could be crime victims to put their fate in the hands of tattooed ex-gang members who say they negotiated a ceasefire among rivals in the most violent gangland in America.

LA Gang Tours took the first of its paying clients on its inaugural trip around the dark side of the City of Angels.
