Pope Benedict XVI is partially seen inside a plane prior to taking off to Lebanon, at Ciampino military airport, on the outskirts of Rome, Friday, Sept. 14, 2012.. The brutal civil war in Syria has given a sense of urgency to Pope Benedict XVI's trip this week to neighboring Lebanon, a mission he describes as a pilgrimage of peace for the entire region. And the Vatican stressed Benedict's push for dialogue among religions in the wake of the killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya by a mob enraged by an anti-Muslim film, saying it is a message he will be taking to Lebanon.
