Pope’s would-be assassin mourns natural death.

Mehmet Ali Agca, the Turkish gunman who seriously wounded the pope during a 1981 assassination attempt, is mourning the pope’s death from his Turkish prison cell, his brother said Sunday. 

Adnan Agca said his brother told him Wednesday in Istanbul’s Kartal prison that he hoped the pope lived a bit longer.

Yeah, so he could get out and give the job another try. Weird.
