"Inmate could do military service

(UKPA) – 11 hours ago

The gunman who wounded Pope John Paul II will be forcibly taken to a military facility to assess his fitness for military service when he is released after nearly 30 years in prison, his lawyer has said.

Mehmet Ali Agca, 52, is due to be released from a prison near Ankara on Monday. A military hospital in 2006 had ruled he was not fit for the obligatory military service due to a 'severe anti-social personality disorder' but authorities said that report has never been approved and is not valid, lawyer Haci Ali Ozhan said."
