Pope John-Paul has arrived in Kazakhstan for a four day visit and Vatican sources are telling the news media that it has been assured that there will be no US military action in the area during this time. Kazakhstan is a former Soviet republic bordering Afghanistan.

The Pope refused to cancel his visit, despite the tensions in the region. It is opposed by the Russian Orthodox Church, which sees it as an intrusion. The vast majority of the people of Kazakhstan are Moslem. It has only a tiny Catholic population.
