French nuclear exams in Polynesia: Many years later, victims search justice

Precisely 40 years in the past, a Greenpeace ship known as the Rainbow Warrior was bombed in New Zealand, killing a photographer on board. It later emerged that the assault was carried out by France’s overseas intelligence company, the DGSE. Its purpose was to cease the boat from disrupting nuclear exams being carried out off the coast of French Polynesia.
