up by Israel’s intelligence service the Mossad. The Italian daily La
Republica has reported that Mossad agents and Italian and Vatican
security and intelligence officers have arrived in Turkey to help
Turkish security units. La Republica also reported that security units
in Istanbul arrested a group in preparation for an attack on the pope a

have been chosen as a possible a target, reports Anadolu News Agency.
