Rainbow Warrior Attack


In 1985 an awful event happened. Fernando Pereira was in a ship called Rainbow
warrior as they celebrated the director of the anti-nuclear movements 29 -Th birthday of the Greenpeace. While they were celebrating two French spies wearing scuba gear dived secretly under the rainbow warrior and attached two Olympic bombs onto the ship. The two bombs exploded just before midnight leaving Fernando pereira dead inside the wrecked ship.

Two French spies were arrested but three others escaped in a yacht. Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart was found guilty of manslaughter and were sentenced to 10 years in prison because of the bombing. They were sent to a small island in the Pacific but in two years time, they returned to their countries and got awarded for bombing the Rainbow Warrior.

Later the French President told them that he had been involved in the bombing to the rainbow warrior. The French government wanted to stop Greenpeace from protesting their nuclear testing in the Pacific. After That the French government had paid $13 million to New Zealand.

The negative impact of the nuclear weapon could affect a lot of people like Death, Radiation, Poisoning, health Problems, Cancer, Birth Death. That's why we shouldn't have any nuclear weapons in our world so nobody could get hurt we could have a Nuclear Free Zone.
