By JOHN TAGLIABUE, Special to the New York Times

KIDNAPPED GIRL AND AGCA IN POPE'S PRAYERS

By HENRY KAMM

Pope John Paul II prayed publicly today for a Vatican employee's 15-year-old daughter, who has been missing for two months, and for the Turkish gunman who shot and gravely wounded him more than two years ago. Although neither the Pope nor the Vatican press office said so, the unusual juxtaposition of prayers was an evident fulfillment of a demand posed by a mysterious group of Turkish anti- Christian militants who claim to be holding the girl as a hostage for the freedom of Mehmet Ali Agc...
