Special Report (7/10/2025)
In this special we revisit 40 years since the 1985 bombing of Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_Rainbow_Warrior) in the Port of Auckland. The bombing and subsequent sinking of Rainbow Warrior, codenamed Opération Satanique, was a "covert operation" by the French secret service agency, the Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE). Fernando Pereira, a Greenpeace photographer, died in the sinking ship. Thirty years later the individual who planted the bomb Jean-Luc Kister confessed and apologized for doing it.
