French Agents Sink Greenpeace Flagship
On July 10, 1985, the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior was attacked and sunk by French agents. The French government planned and authorized the attack to prevent the ship from interfering in nuclear weapons tests on the Moruroa atoll. The bombing took place while the ship was in port in order to avoid casualties, but photographer Fernando Pereira drowned while retreiving his camera equipment.
