Rainbow Warrior spy Christine Cabon breaks 32-year silence

A French spy who infiltrated Greenpeace and gleaned information that enabled her colleagues to bomb the Rainbow Warrior in 1985 has spoken for the first time.

Tomorrow marks the 32-year anniversary of the deadly attack on the Greenpeace ship.

Just before midnight on July 10, 1985, two bombs ripped gaping holes in the vessel that was set to lead a flotilla to Moruroa atoll to protest against French nuclear testing.

The Rainbow Warrior sank in four minutes.

Portuguese-born crew member, Fernando Pereira, drowned after going to his cabin to retrieve his camera gear.
