Pope's Failed Assassin Vows to Reveal Role Soviet and Bulgarian Secret Services Played

Mehmet Ali Agca, 52, the Turk who was released from prison yesterday (January 18, 2010) after almost three decades behind bars for trying to kill Pope John Paul II in 1981, has volunteered to go to Afghanistan to kill Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the Bulgarian News Agency website reports today.

The man who pulled the trigger against Pope John Paul II said he plans to live in Istanbul, and has not decided yet whether to get married.

Ali Agca has received more than 50 offers from foreign publishers and movie-makers, eager to buy his story in the hope that he may finally shed light on his attempt to assassinate the pope, lawyers said.

The Turk has vowed to reveal the truth about the so-called "Bulgarian connection" in the assassination attempt, and answer all questions about the role that Soviet and Bulgarian secret services played. We need to keep in mind that Ali Agca shot Pope John Paul II in 1981 -- a time when Bulgaria and Soviet Russia were still communist nations -- 10 years before the collapse of the Soviet Union and communism in 1991.
