Killing the Pope

According to Edward S. Herman and Frank Brodhead, Henze has been one of the peddlers of a conspiracy theory about the attempted assassination of the Pope. Henze, with Claire Sterling and Michael Ledeen, propagated this story. Herman and Brodhead said: "The most important investigative work -- or, we should say, creative writing -- in establishing the hypothesis of the Bulgarian Connection was done by Claire Sterling, Paul Henze, and Michael Ledeen."[3]

Henze has been accused of engaging in "historical engineering" pertaining to Armenian "terrorism".[4]
