A teenager accused of planning an attack on Pope Francis during his visit to the United States two years ago pleaded guilty in a Camden, New Jersey court.
According to the federal Department of Justice, Santos Colón Jr. intended to shoot the supreme pontiff with a precision rifle during the open-air mass he held in Philadelphia and plant explosives in the area where the service was performed.
Colon, a 17-year-old resident of Lindenwold County, New Jersey, admitted last Monday that from June 30 to August 14, 2015, he conceived the plan for the attack and that he “contacted a person he thought was a sniper, but who was in fact an undercover FBI agent,”the documents in the case read.
The exchange between the two continued to such an extent that the individual even asked the undercover police to be in charge of "acquiring the materials necessary to make explosives."
Colón was arrested in 2015 and, after pleading guilty, faces up to 15 years in prison and a $ 250,000 fine. No date has yet been set to determine his sentence.
