Editing Mehmet Ali Agca (section)

==According to Paul Williams, in his book Operation Gladio==
""Ağca began his criminal career as a drug smuggler on the Balkan route. He rose to become one of Uğurlu's trusted couriers, making regular trips to deliver messages and payments to Henri Arsan at Stibam in Milan Eventually, he became one of the baba's bodyguards and hit men, working with Çatlı and Oral Çelik.39 KILLING IPEKCI On February 1, 1979, Ağca took part in the murder of Abdi İpekçi, the editor-in-chief of Milliyet, one of Turkey's leading daily newspapers. When taken into custody, Ağca quickly confessed, saying, "Yes, I shot and killed İpekçi. I was alone and I fired four or five times." But there was a problem with his testimony. A total of thirteen spent cartridges were found at the scene of the crime.40 İpekçi was one of Turkey's most distinguished journalists and his assassination shocked the nation. Ağca received a life sentence and was incarcerated in an Istanbul prison. After serving six months, he "escaped" wearing an army uniform. There was, in fact, no flight. He simply strolled from the jail in August 1979, with Abdullah Çatlı as his escort." The babas needed him to get back to work."

Agar would cross paths with Fr. Felix Morlion as part of Operation Gladio.

"Fr. Felix Morlion, a Belgian priest, was affiliate with the Hyperion Language School (the intelligence agencies love to hide spies in language schools) and served to establish a branch of the "school" in Rome. During World War II, he had worked closely with Wild Bill Donovan and the [[Office of Strategic Services]] by creating Pro Deo, a Catholic intelligence agency. When the Nazis seize control of Western Europe, Donovan, relocated Morlion, and his agency from Lisbon to New York. In 1945, the priest relocated to Rome (which coincides with the Nazi rat line set up and the creation of the stay behind network later referred to as Operation Gladio), where he became the private emissary of Pope Pius XII and four of the pope's successors. Throughout the 1960s, he remained a pivotal US intelligence agent, as witness by his key role in the Cuban missile crisis. At JFK is urging, the Dominican priest had attended a strategic meeting in Andover, Massachusetts, where he established a communication channel between Moscow and Washington, mediated by Pope John Paul XXIII, through whom messages were passed that brought an end to the threat of nuclear war. 

In 1966, Morlion established, with funding from the CIA, the [[Pro Deo University]] which began Libera University Internationale degli Studi Sociali ([[the International University of Social Studies]]). (another intelligence gathering entity posing as a school) As President of the new university, Morlion became a force in the formation of the right wing policies of the Italian government. He also reportedly began recruiting of terrorist and assassins, including Moretti and Mehmet Ali Agca, who attempted the hit on John Paul II)."

"Questions about Morlion's involvement in the Moro matter first arose from the discovery of photos, taken by Pecorelli, of the prominent priest in the company of leading Italian military intelligence officials at the time of the kidnapping. Such questions became more pressing when the Rome office of the Hyperion School, which Morlion helped to establish, opened shortly before the Moro kidnapping, only to close the following autumn."

"Even more puzzling is the fact that the Pro Deo founder received prominent mention in the secret files of Licio Gelli (which were seized by the Italian police in 1982)" Gelli was the grandmaster of the P2 masonic lodge, prominent in the Operation Gladio network in Italy.
