Secret Agent

The stupid rainbow warrior always getting in the way of our nuclear test is just not done.

The reason France and there secret agents wanted to test nuclear bombs is because at that time there was a threat of a nuclear war and they wanted to be safe from want could have been a nuclear war and they wanted to be a threat to the rest of the world.

After the bombing the two bombers were captured and sentenced to 10 years in prison, but only spent 2 years in prison because the french government negotiated with the nz government and came to a compromise that the two bombers could finish there sentence in France.

Ever since the nuclear bombing of the rainbow warrior New Zealand has made a that anyone who comes into New Zealand has to escorted out of the country by the New Zealand Navy.

The bomb went of just before midnight on the 10th of July. There were 2 explosions that made the rainbow sink at the marsden wharf in Auckland.

A Portuguese crew member, Fernando Pereira was killed in the explosion. The two people who went to prison were Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart. They went to prison for manslaughter. The were arrested on the 24th of July. They were charged for Murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

This was the French point of view I was put onto for social studies.
