Pope John Paul II, among others, was the target of the Bojinka Plot, one of the first terrorist attacks planned by Khali Shaikh Muhammad, in conjunction with 1993 WTC bomber Ramzi Yousef. Lessons learned from this failed plot were used by Al-Qaeda (whom Muhammad 'joined' in 1999) in the Sept. 11 attacks. Yousef was never a member of Al-Qaeda.
