Rainbow Warrior Bombing - Web Video
It was revealed that the French Government had ordered the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland harbour in 1985, to stop Greenpeace disrupting its nuclear testing programme in the Pacific. Two French agents, Alain Mafart and Dominique Prieur, were caught by police and pleaded guilty to charges of manslaughter and willful damage. They were each sentenced to 10 years in jail in New Zealand. France then threatened to boycott trade with New Zealand. The United Nations arranged a deal where the guilty agents were to serve out their sentence at France’s military base in the Pacific, and the French Government would pay $13 million compensation to New Zealand. France broke the deal by returning the two agents home in less than three years.
