Pope Francis’ personal security detail was nearly doubled during his general audience Wednesday, and carabinieri were out in force as Italy and the Vatican beefed up security around the Holy See following the Paris attacks and before Francis’ big Jubilee Year starting Dec. 8.
Already, Italy is banning drones and closing the airspace over Rome for Jubilee celebrations, during which millions of pilgrims are expected to descend on the Italian capital. Rome’s prefect, Franco Gabrielli, said Wednesday that law enforcement authorities were prepared to shoot down unauthorized drones and ultralight aircraft if they violate the airspace ban.
