Pope Benedict XVI was attacked during Christmas Eve Mass at St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. A woman is said to have attacked the Pope as he walked towards the altar.
Immediate reports are that the Pope was unharmed and went on to start the mass. MSNBC reports that the woman jumped over a barrier and was able to knock down the pope. Pope Benedict's security guards helped the pontiff back to his feet.
Early reports from the Daily Mail Online say that the woman was mentally unstable. She has since been arrested by Vatican Police.
The woman also knocked over Cardinal Roger Etchegaray. The cardinal was taken to hospital. The mass had been moved to an earlier time so that the Pope, 82, would not get exhausted.

ReplyDeleteIt began with Ali Hassan Mwinyi, then Berlusconi and now the Pope. Who is next? What does this say about the standards of body guards in 2009?

ReplyDeleteHaya mambo ya kukimbilia kusema mentally disturbed kwenye matukio kama haya huwa siamini. Yule aliyempiga kibao Mzee mwinyi tuliambia ni mentally disturbed, the same kwa huyu wa pope hapo juzi. Mentally disturbed gani huyo ambaye hafanyi vurugu zake mpaka ije kwenye Xmas na tena kwa pope tu na si wengine?
