Rainbow Warrior Bombing - Web Video
On July 10, 1985 the original Rainbow Warrior, was bombed in Auckland harbour by French agents to prevent her disrupting France’s nuclear testing programme in the Pacific. A month earlier, the ship had been in the northern Pacific helping to relocate the community of Rongelap to Mejato island to escape the continuing effects from nuclear fallout. Once the relocation of the islanders, and all their belongings, was completed, the ship and crew visited Kiribati and Vanuatu before heading to New Zealand.

Rainbow Warrior Bombing - Web Videos
A series of six short videos telling the story of the Rainbow Warrior bombing in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1985. It was soon revealed the bombing was ordered by the French Government in an attempt to foil protests of its nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific. Twelve people were on board. Fernando Pereira, a Portugese photographer and father, was trapped in his cabin and drowned. Two French agents were arrested by New Zealand Police and pleaded guilty to charges of manslaughter and willful damage. They only served three years of their 10 year jail sentences.
