Pope Francis will probably use an armour-plated car during his trip to Iraq on March 5-8, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said Tuesday.
"An armour-plated car is always available for the pope's trips, and in this trip it is very likely to be used," he said.
Francis will use a closed car in all his visits to cities, Bruni said, apart form Erbil stadium on Sunday March 7 when he will use an open car.
The pope will celebrate Mass at the stadium.
