World Within hours of being freed, he was examined by doctors who declared him mentally unbalanced and exempt from military service, his lawyers said. Mehmet Ali Agca served 19 years in an Italian prison for the attack, before being pardoned on the pope's initiative in 2000; but he was extradited to serve a term in his home country for other crimes including the 1979 murder of a newspaper editor. As Agca made his way through a media throng to check into a five star hotel after his release, the 52-year-old declared: "I proclaim the end of the world. All the world will be destroyed in this century. Every human being will die in this century," he shouted, repeating the words from a handwritten statement that his lawyers had released earlier. "I am not God and I am not the son of God. I am the Christ Eternal," he said. Agca's motives for shooting and wounding the pope at the Vatican in 1981 remain a mystery. Some people believe he was working for Soviet-era eastern European security services alarmed by the Polish pontiff's fierce opposition to communism. In a statement issued last week, Agca said he would answer questions on the attack in the next few weeks, including whether the Soviet and Bulgarian governments were involved. Agca is seeking interest from publishers and film-makers in his story. His lawyers said he would hold a news conference on Wednesday. After his release, Agca was first driven to a military hospital where psychological and physical tests established he was mentally unbalanced and should be exempted from military service, one of his lawyers, Yilmaz Abosoglu, told Reuters. The report must be approved by the defense ministry. A military hospital report in 2006 that found him unsuitable for service was never approved by the defense ministry. RETURN TO ROME? Agca opened fire on the pope as he was driven through St Peter's Square in an open car. The pontiff was wounded in the hand, arm and abdomen, but he visited Agca two years later in an Italian jail and forgave him. Pope John Paul II died in 2005. Agca has said he wants to visit the pope's tomb in Rome, and meet his successor, Pope Benedict. "He has served his time in jail so now he is a free man according to the law. Let's hope also his heart has changed," said Archbishop Ennio Apignanesi. "Maybe he will come to Rome. The Pope went twice to forgive him. Now he could come and make a prayer." Agca left the prison compound in a four-car convoy, obscured behind tinted windows, although he was seen waving, and clenching his fist as he got into one of the vehicles inside the compound. The media easily outnumbered about 25 supporters gathered outside the prison for Agca's release. A pipe and drum band played as Agca left the jail. Due to confusion over his prison terms, Agca was freed in 2006, but was sent back to jail by the Supreme Court within days. A military medical report at that time said he suffered from a severe anti-social personality disorder.
