In September 1977, a tense hostage situation unfolded between the Japanese Red Army, a Bangladeshi negotiator, and a US congressman on honeymoon. The hijackers mistakenly believed they were in an "Islamic Republic" and expected to spread their ideology, but instead found themselves in a country in chaos, having recently experienced multiple military coups. The situation was further complicated by the unexpected actions of the Bangladeshi negotiator, who remained calm and confident despite the chaos.
