As I remember it, only one photographer died. The agents had placed two charges; the first was intended to scare everyone off the ship and the second, to sink it. One guy went back for his camera & equipment a little too late after the first charge.
The two agents were caught (one M and one F posing as a couple), as the story goes in NZ, because a petrol pump attendant fluent in French overheard the two agents discussing the operation while filling their tank.
The French defense minister took the fall and resigned over the incident.
