The Estonian government has set up a commission to investigate reports that the doomed passenger ferry Estonia that sunk in 1994 had transported military equipment, the government announced. "The aim of the expert commission is to look into the possible transport of weapons, which a Swedish inquiry has established," a government spokesman said, adding that it would present a final report by September 1. The panel is headed by a state prosecutor and includes representatives of other law-enforcement agencies. (Afp, 3.03)
