Mehmet Ali AÄŸca a Turkish gunman and militant attempted to kill Pope John Paul II on May 13, 1981, in Saint Peter's Square. Despite being critically wounded and losing 3/4 of his blood, the Pope survived.
The Italian government concluded that the Soviet Union was behind the attempt on John Paul II's life, in retaliation for the Pope's support of Solidarity, the Catholic, pro-democratic Polish workers' movement, a theory which had already been supported by Michael Ledeen and the United States Central Intelligence Agency at the time.
