Indonesian police foiled an ISIS-inspired plot to assassinate Pope Francis during his Asia Pacific tour. Seven suspects were arrested on September 2-3 after citizens tipped off authorities.

Weapons, a drone, and ISIS leaflets were found during a raid. The suspects were angered by the Pope’s visit to a Jakarta mosque and his criticism of religious extremism.

Threats were posted on social media, including plans to set fires, the U.S. Sun has reported.

Pope Francis, who is on a 12-day tour of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Singapore, condemned religious violence and called for dialogue and mutual respect.
