Assassin who tried to kill Pope John Paul II puts roses on his tomb…and says he wants to meet Pope Francis
An assassin who tried to killer Pope John Paul II has laid white roses on his tomb and said he wants to meet Pope Francis.
Mehmet Ali Agca, a Turk, stood for a few moments over John Paul’s tomb in silent meditation before leaving two bunches of white roses.
It comes 31 years to the day that the Pope visited the assassin in prison and forgave him for the attempt on his life.
Agca left John Paul critically injured when he fired several shots at close range in St Peter’s Square on May 13, 1981.
The 56-year-old spent 19 years in prison for the failed assassination attempt. His motive remains a mystery.
It is the second time Vatican officials have denied Agca’s request for a face-to-face meeting with His Holiness.
‘He has put flowers on the tomb of John Paul II. I think that is enough,’ Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi told La Repubblica newspaper.
