It should be noted that Harpers used the words 'Alleged Plotter' in their title. You did not.

"It subsequently emerged that the bombing—which killed a photographer on board—was a French government operation. The man who ran it, according to French press accounts, was Louis-Pierre Dillais, a lieutenant-colonel in the General Directorate for External Security."

Any other links or collaborating stories on this connection besides Harpers? Just curious.

In 2005, on the 20th anniversary of the Rainbow Warrior bombing, Dillais admitted his involvement to New Zealand television program Sunday:

Dominion Post on June 27th, 2005 said:

Details about Louis-Pierre Dillais, a former lieutenant-colonel in French secret service agency DGSE, were revealed in the television programme Sunday last night.

Mr Dillais, who coordinated the mission that sank the Greenpeace ship in Auckland Harbour, killing photographer Fernando Pereira, was tracked down working in Washington DC for giant Belgian arms maker FN Herstal.

"I'm sorry for the loss of life . . . It was an unfortunate accident. I'm sorry for the family, but what can you do?," he told the programme.
