Benjamín Mendoza y Amor Flores
On November 27, 1970, at approximately 9:30 in the morning, Mendoza, dressed as a priest, crucifix in hand, managed to approach the Pope Paul VI before striking him with two stabs in the neck with a kris (a type of short dagger), worn on both sides of the jugular vein, shortly after the Pope disembarked from his chartered DC-8 jet at the Manila International Airport. The weapon had inscribed on both sides the legend "bullets, superstitions, flags, kingdoms, garbage, armies and shit."
