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, enraging them further.
The suspects have been named only as HFP, LB, DF, FA, HS, ER and RS.
It's not yet clear whether they were all linked to one another.
A spokesman for Indonesia's terror-crushing unit "Densus 88" - or Detachment 88 - said threats were aired on social media.
Colonel Aswin Siregar said: “We have a mechanism to monitor and filter.
"We had tip-off information from members of the public.
“Densus 88 has taken legal action against seven individuals … who made threats in the form of propaganda or terror threats via social media in response to the Pope’s arrival.
“There was also a threat to set fire to the locations."
