Woman who knocked down Pope says she wanted to embrace him (video)
The pilgrim who knocked down Pope Benedict XVI during a festive service in Saint Peter’s Cathedral in Rome has claimed she simply wanted to embrace the pontiff. Let us remind you that Benedict XVI quickly stood up while a 87-year-old French cardinal Roger Etchegaray was injured – he leg was broken. A 25-year-old Swiss citizen Susanna Maiolo has been detained by security agencies. She is probably mentally ill. According to RIA Novosti, she has been taken to hospital.
