Gunman who shot Pope may face prison again

Mehmet Ali Agca, the Turkish gunman who shot Pope John Paul II, might have been released from prison by mistake and might return to his cell to serve at least 11 more months, a newspaper said today, quoting the country’s justice minister.

Justice Minister Cemil Cicek ordered a review of Agca’s complicated case hours after the gunman was released from prison yesterday to see whether any errors were committed in freeing him amid strong criticism.
