the bombing of the rainbow warrior

In 1985 10 July french secret agents put two bombs in the rainbow warrior and sunk it.Of the twelve people on board one died when he attempted to retrieve his equipment.The boat was refloated to Auckland harbor.
I don't think the French should've bombed them it was not a nice thing to do and a person got killed.
The boat was sunk just before midnight.Two of the six bombers were found.The others escaped.
Almost a year after the bombing, on 8 July 1986, United Nations Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar announced, in a binding decision, that New Zealand would receive an apology and paid of $13 million from France.
Here is a picture of the ship.

    Sophie, I had no idea that the cameraman was trying to retrieve equipment. I thought he was killed instantly. How do you feel about secret agents infiltrating NZ?
