You are right, it is speculation on my part.
But if I was viewing our ‘speculations’ as an independent observer, I would weight mine more (not being egoist here at all) because the WaPo article is a sham and distorts the controversy whereas the minister’s tantrum is political and made semse from the left’s point of view.

He likely got a heads-up...
And, no, I would not take a wager against your interpretation in favor of mine. Let's just wait and see if Mohammed goes to the mountain.
