This is not the same "french intelligence agency". Rainbow Warrior had to do with what is now DGSE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directorate-General_for_External_Security http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directorate-General_for_Externa.... In the current case, it is the DCRI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction_centrale_du_renseignement_int%C3%A9rieur http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction_centrale_du_renseigne... which is in action. One is under the responsability of the defense minister, the other under the interior minister

But what's important is that DCRI's competency is domestic intelligence and DGSE is for foreign intelligence.
