Ho Chi Minh's Indonesian Agents (laporan CIA, 1950)
CIA report, 6 April 1950: Ho Chi Minh's Indonesian agents
CIA report, 6 April 1950, claiming Aidit and Trimurti visited Ho Chi Minh and would return as his 'agents' to build a people's army in Indonesia. Almost certainly unreliable but links future Gerwis founder S.K. Trimurti to alleged transnational conspiracy.
Laporan CIA, 6 April 1950, yang mengklaim Aidit dan Trimurti mengunjungi Ho Chi Minh dan akan pulang sebagai 'agen' untuk membangun tentara rakyat di Indonesia. Hampir pasti tidak dapat dipercaya, tetapi mengaitkan calon pendiri Gerwis S.K. Trimurti dengan dugaan konspirasi transnasional.
