KGB ordered Pope's assassination, new documents show
Rome, Mar. 30, 2005 (CWNews.com) - The files of the old East German secret
service contain documents confirming that the Soviet Union ordered the May
13, 1981 attempt on the life of Pope John Paul II (bio - news), Italian
newspapers are reporting.
Two newspapers, Corriere della Sera and il Giornale , are reporting that
files from the Stasi, the East German spy agency, confirm the suspicions
long held by Vatican officials. Documents in newly opened files show that
the KGB, the Soviet spy agency, ordered the assassination attempt, which was
carried out by the Bulgarian secret service.
Dimitar Tzonev, a spokesman for the Bulgarian government, said that
officials in Sofia are ready to hand over their secret-service archives to
the Italian commission charged with investigating the assassination attempt,
which was carried out by Mehmet Ali Agca. An Italian parliamentary
commission is also carrying out an investigation of KGB recruitment in
Italy.
Corriere della Sera reports that the Soviet service gave the order to
assassinate John Paul II, and Bulgarian agents recruited Agca for the
effort. That report confirms a theory that was advanced by the Pope himself,
in his book, Memory and Identity; the Pope wrote that he was convinced Agca
was not acting on his own initiative, "but someone else planned and
commanded it." Almost immediately after the attack-- in which Pope John Paul
was shot and seriously wounded after his weekly public audience in St.
Peter's Square-- Vatican officials quietly advanced the theory that the
Soviet Union had authorized the assassination attempt. Italian investigators
soon found evidence of ties between Agca and Bulgarian spy officers. But to
date there has been no conclusive proof of Soviet involvement.
Mehmet Ali Agca, who served 19 years of a life sentence in Italian prisons,
was handed over to prison officials in his native Turkey in June 2000. He is
now serving a prison term there for a murder committed before the attack on
John Paul II.

Atheists get to live their lives in accordance with their own desires. I
call that a win, compared to the collossal waste of time being an active
Christian. Atheist: win. Christian: lose. "No win" never comes into
play, because there are no gods.
