A letter sent to journalists by the attorneys of Mehmet Ali Ağca, who murdered Abdi İpekçi and attempted to assassinate Pope John Paul II, has announced that Ağca, whose 30-year prison sentence will end on Jan. 18, will expose the role of the KGB in his assassination attempt on the late pope.The letter says Ağca, after getting out of the jail, will explain which organizations and individuals were involved in the attack.
“Some journalists tell me KGB files dated Nov. 13, 1979 show the Kremlin’s intention to kill the pope. They say I escaped from jail on Nov. 25, 1979. This leads them to ask if there is any connection between these two incidents. Did the Kremlin use the communist Bulgarian government in the assassination attempt on the pope? Who kidnapped Emanuela Orlandi [allegedly held captive by a terrorist group that demanded Ağca’s release] -- the KGB or the Stasi. I will reply to all these questions in the coming weeks,” the letter says.
Condemning terrorism, convicted terrorist Ağca called on US President Barack Obama to fulfill people’s increased expectations of him and to take steps favoring world peace now that he is a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
The letter also states that all religions denounce terrorism and punish terrorists, that al-Qaeda is a Nazi-like organization, that Hitler, Osama bin Laden, Pol Pot and Abdullah Öcalan are all terrorists and the common enemy of all countries and religions.
Obama has to show he deserved the award he got, the letter reads, adding that the world needs another US empire, one that serves as a center of democracy, peace and freedom.
Ağca served 19 years in an Italian prison for the 1981 attack on the pope and is nearing the end of a 10-year Turkish sentence for killing İpekçi in 1979.
He will be released on Jan. 18.
