Abu Dhabi Fund Chief's Body Found

UPDATE: Here's an appreciation from the Business section of The National, which of course has all the objectivity you'd expect of an Abu Dhabi newspaper when the Ruler's brother dies, but also offers more detail.

Four days after his ultralight aircraft plunged into a Moroccan lake, divers have found the body of the head of the Abu Dhabi Investment Fund, Sheikh Ahmad bin Zayed Al Nahayan, who is also the brother of the President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed.

The Abu Dhabi Investment Fund is the Emirate's sovereign wealth fund, reportedly the world's largest.
