The Rainbow Warrior bombing

The Rainbow Warrior bombing is reported to have occurred in 1985, when the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior was bombed and sank. The supplied source reports that agents of the French foreign intelligence services carried out the attack and that responsibility was initially attributed to terrorists. The incident is reported to have caused the death of one crew member and the loss of the vessel. These points are presented here as reported facts from the source material rather than as independently established conclusions.

The same source reports a connection between the attack and a governmental objective: it states that the French government wanted to prevent the ship from interfering with a planned nuclear test. That reporting frames the bombing as an effort to stop Greenpeace activity related to that planned test. Because the source presents these elements as reported allegations and findings, this entry preserves the uncertainty expressed there rather than offering additional interpretation or unverified detail.
