Pope attacked at Christmas service

A woman jumped the barriers in St. Peter's Basilica and knocked down Pope Benedict XVI at the start of Christmas Eve Mass, but the 82-year-old pontiff was unhurt and proceeded as planned with the service. The incident was the first time a potential attacker came into direct contact with Benedict, and it underscored concerns by security analysts who have frequently warned the pope is too exposed in his public appearances. It was the second year in a row there was a security breach at the service. At the end of last year's Mass, a woman who had jumped the barriers got close to the pope but was quickly blocked by security. (AP)
