Franco Roberti said Tuesday that Pope Francis was a potential
target for terrorists, while adding that efforts to prevent
attacks were working. "In theory yes," Roberti told Catholic TV
channel TV2000 when asked if the pope was a target. "But in

intelligence (services), we are managing to prevent eventual
attack plans in Italy. A good number have already been prevented
and stopped".
