I remember that the first famous suspicious about the financing of the Pope shooting was that it was the Soviets.

Years and years later (I think just last year), I began hearing credible reports that the financiers had been IRANIAN.

Am I imagining this?

Yes you are. You can search on FR and find links from last year. New material from the Stasi archives and from Bulgaria appears to decisevly tie the Soviets, via their Bulgarian associates, to the deed.

I don't remember now, but some of the money that Agca used may have been passed via Iran. However, in all likelihood that was just a way for the Soviets to make it harder to find any links betwen them and Agca.

Just remember, regardless of who did the financing, in the end , after a dozen middlemen took their cut it was outsourced to a Turkish terrorist who probably did it for free.
