A Turkish assassin who shot and wounded...
According to his lawyers, Mehmet Ali Agca, 52, has said he will deliver a true account of his assassination attempt after he is released from prison.
"I will answer all of these questions [about the assassination attempt] in the next weeks," Agca said in a letter released by his lawyers.
Just after the arrest over the attack on St Peter"s Square on May 13, 1981, Agca claimed that he had acted alone.
The attack on the Pope has long been shrouded in mystery, although four years ago an Italian parliamentary commission accused former Soviet leaders and the Bulgarian secret service of being behind the assassination plot.
Agca once said Bulgarian agents acting on behalf of Moscow and the KGB were behind the attack, but later withdrew the accusation.
Agca, a former member of the Turkish ultranationalist Grey Wolves organization, served 19 years in an Italian prison for the assassination attempt on the Pope.
