According to a prison letter, Mehmet Ali Ağca (-5[1])planned to (-5[1])assassinate John (-5[1])Paul II to get revenge for this (-5[1])event, which also prompted students at Quaid-e-Azam University to burn down the (*) U. S. Embassy in Islamabad. During this event, GIGN assisted in taking down (10[1])insurgents who referred to themselves as (10[2])“al-Ikhwan.” (-5[1])Students of the blind (-5[1])cleric Abd al-Aziz Ibn (10[1])Baz carried out this event, and in its aftermath, King Khalid adopted hardline policies. For 10 points, name this event, during which Juhayman al-Otaybi’s Salafist (0[1])cell captured the holiest site in Islam. (10[4]0[5])■END■
