Pope John Paul II remained alert and in good condition after a 52 hour surgery for bullet wounds. He faced a possible second operation within a month and a guarded prognosis due to infection risk. Suspect Mehmet Ali Agca, a Turkish national, was charged with attempted murder and related offenses. He began a hunger strike, drinking water only, as police described him as stoic. The pope, speaking little, was treated for multiple abdominal injuries and intestinal repair.
