A TERROR plot to kill Pope Francis has been uncovered with Indonesian cops swooping on seven suspects believed to be ISIS-inspired.
The failed ploy targeted the Pope during his visit to Indonesia, where he wrapped up a 12-day tour of the Asia Pacific on Friday.

The suspects were arrested across September 2 and 3 after cops were tipped off by concerned citizens.
Cops raided one of the alleged militant’s houses to find bow and arrows, a drone and ISIS leaflets, according to local reports.
The wannabe terrorists were apparently angered by the Pope’s visit to a Jakarta mosque.
Indonesian TV stations were reportedly asked not to broadcast the Islamic call to prayer while they showed Pope Francis’ visit.
