I thought that this might end up filed under "News of the Weird" but I was captivated by the story that Mehmet Ali Agca, who shot the late Pope John Paul II in 1981 during a failed assasination attempt, has expressed a desire to convert to Christianity at a baptism ceremony at the Vatican.
Mr. Agca is now serving a life sentence in Turkey for the murder of a left-wing journalist, in 1979. He is scheduled to be released in January, 2010. More information here and here.
