Pope Francis Survived Iraq Assassination Attempts
Pope Francis has revealed that he was the target of an assassination attempt during his historic visit to Iraq in March 2021, detailed in his upcoming autobiography 'Hope'. British intelligence informed Iraqi police of plans by two suicide bombers, including a woman with explosives and a speeding van, aiming to attack during the papal visit to Mosul. Despite advice against the trip due to security risks and the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pope felt compelled to proceed to emphasize peace and solidarity among religious communities. Iraqi police successfully intercepted and neutralized the threats, ensuring the Pope's safety. This trip marked the first papal visit to Iraq, a country previously under the grip of ISIS, and highlighted the Pope's commitment to interfaith dialogue and support for Christian minorities. The book is set for release on January 14, 2025.
