The table became ominously quiet.

UN Special Commission Formed
To Investigate Terrorism
NEW YORK (AP)âThe UN Security Council met in emergency session today to consider the problem of the recent unprovoked attacks on UN Militia installations.
Council members quickly agreed to the formation of a special commission of inquiry. Announcement of the membership of the commission and the extent of its investigatory powers is expected momentarily.
The commissionâs prime function is to inquire into the two bombings that took place in Greece two days ago. The death toll from those bombings has now reached 3,200.
Rumors about the formation of an investigating commission have been circulating ever since the aborted Honduran uprising in March. Neither the Honduran nor the earlier Burmese rebellion succeeded because the rebels in both countries had been supplied with defective weapons.
Pedro Yglesias, arrested as the supplier of the Honduran weapons, has implicated UN Ambassador Mañuel Aguirrez in a plot to support rebel uprisings.

Explosives used in Greek bombings were purchased from Franz Meier, a munitions distributor headquartered in Zürich. Meierâs computer tapes of all purchasing records for the past six months have been erased. Meier is being held for further questioning.
No connection between the Greek bombings and Ambassador Mañuel Aguirrez has been uncovered.
But he doesnât know that , thought Sir John.
⦠in a bombshell announcement by Sir John Dudley, head of the UN Intelligence Agency. Sir John stated Ambassador Aguirrez has admitted responsibility for supplying Honduran rebels with defective arms but denies responsibility for the Greek bombings .
Sir John stated that Ambassador Aguirrez has displayed âdeep distressâ over the slaughter in Greece and is anxious to disclaim all personal responsibility .
Mr. Aguirrez named two other representatives to the UN as his âpartnersâ in the business of supporting rebel groups in their activities against the UN Militia. The Ambassador says the bombings in Greece were the work of either Li Xijuan of the Peopleâs Republic of China or Heinrich Schlimmermann of West Germany .
The naming of Li Xijuan came as a special surprise. Ambassador Li served as chairwoman of the UN committee that drew up the organizational plans for both the Militia and its
