Mehmet Ali Agca, the Turk, who was released from prison Monday 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.
Wearing a blue sweater, the greying Agca, 52, announced that he considers the late pope John Paul II as one of the most wonderful and honest people of the past century and voiced plans to visit his grave, the Bulgarian News Agency reported, citing the popular Italian magazine Diva e Donna.
The man who pulled the trigger against Pope John Paul II has 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 on 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.
On 13 May 1981 Pope John Paul II was shot and seriously wounded by Turkish gunman Ali Agca in St Peter's Square. The would-be killer never gave a motive, and mystery has continued to surround the assassination attempt. An alleged link between Agca and Bulgarian agents, and through them to the Soviet Union's KGB, fed speculations over the so-called Bulgarian connection for years on end.
Bulgarian Sergei Antonov, who was arrested after the shooting and held for more than three years in Italy, was acquitted over lack of evidence. At the time of the arrest Antonov was 32 and worked as a former manager in the Rome office of Balkan Air.
Shattered and physically damaged, he returned to Bulgaria unable to carry on a conversation or concentrate on complex tasks, symptoms his friends say came from the use of psychotropic drugs in his interrogation.
During his historic visit to Bulgaria in May 2002 the pope said he never believed in the so-called Bulgarian connection.
Sergei Antonov, the man who was wrongly accused of involvement in the 1981 assassination, died alone in his flat in Sofia in August 2007.

Never underestimate the power of the unseen. Literally. Bin Laden passed through Bulgaria and Macedonia and stayed over in Kosovo and Albania. That Serbian mafia boss Kristijan Golubovic lives in Macedonia right now. God knows what...there are alot of wannabes everywhere but this place really is where the times touch eachother. At first glance it looks like Kabul. At second it looks like heaven. At third, you see shit is confusing. It's unique. It's exactly as heaven would be in terms of land, with a bit of touch of hell and the people are a mix of both. When I came here at first half my town fucked me over.Sentenza wrote:Nothing. 20 something Years in Jail just made him loose his mind.DutchGangster69 wrote:Seriously what can that guy do?
