This essay analyzes East European operations in the conspiracy to kill Pope John Paul II on May 13, 1981. It describes the seeminly irrational, unexplained behavior of Mehmet Ali Agca and Bulgarians in Rome who allegedly carried out the conspiracy. It finally resolves with a surprise twist the inconsistencies in East European planning and operations. (Author abstract)
