How the Rainbow Warrior got bombed.

On 10 July 1985 a ship called the Rainbow Warrior was going to protest against nuclear testing. Two people planted two bombs on the boat because they got mad about the protesting against nuclear testing. At ten minutes to midnight one went off. After ten minutes of the first bomb the second one went off. Fernado Peireira drowned in his cabin when the second bomb went off. He was going to get his camera but I bet you know what happened. There were another spy who planned to bomb the ship and her name was Christine Cabon. She worked in the Auckland office and she was looking for maps and information to bomb the ship. The other two spies Alain Marfart and Daminique Prieur acted as tourists to plant the bomb and it worked. After the Rainbow Warrior was fully sunk, after like a week or something, they found the Rainbow Warrior and towed it to Matauri Bay and scuttled it there. Now there is a memorial that has the anchor of the Rainbow Warrior and there is a ramap as well as a rock that has a line pointing where they scuttled the Rainbow Warrior. They scuttled it between two islands.
