The man who shot Pope John Paul II in 1981 is set to be released from a Turkish prison on January 18, 2010, after serving almost 29 years, the Catholic Net website reports today.
Mehmet Ali Agca, 52, said once he is free, he wants to do two things: visit John Paul II's tomb and write two books, including one about his life.
For help with this second task, Agca reported he has contacted Dan Brown, author of the best-selling science fiction work, "The Da Vinci Code."
Agca's 29 years in prison resulted not only from his attempted assassination of the Pope, but also from having killed Abdi Ipekci, director of the Turkish newspaper Milliyet, in 1979.
