The information in the previous post (See-saw, hurry up and down no 20) was bound to startle. Most individuals and groups across the world had their own theories about what the Bengalis would do to get the lease or once they got the lease.
For example, those who watched the intrigues around the 1945 Shimla Conference in India were of the opinion that the moment the Bengalis would get the lease, they'd call it a Prussian myth, something for entertainment and not to be taken seriously.
There were others, the Pentagon sorts, that had thought that the Sept 11, 2001, attacks would be used to grab the lease but only if the Trumps were in power. The problem was, through the long War on Terror, while fending off Mumbai tycoons, had the Pentagon honchos not noticed Turkish influence in Afghanistan?
It apparently worked through the news agencies operating in Afghanistan, and Afghan journalists had always come under attack.
(Just fyi: The Indonesian news agency was called Antara, it had always been so.)
