Ali Agca to be Released

Mehmet Ali Agca, the Turkish mercenary who tried to assassinate John Paul II in 1981, will soon be free and plans to publish his memoirs.

For more on this, see here.

Unfortunately, Agca is dismissed by many as unbalanced and unreliable and so his testimony is generally ignored. But amid the crazy pronouncements he's made, perhaps there are some glimpses of truth yet to be revealed.
