The Disappearing Country: With 80% of the country less than one metre above sea level, the residents of the Maldives’ 1,200 tropical islands have long been aware of their vulnerability to rising sea levels. In 2008, it was announced that the government would start diverting a percentage of the nation’s income from tourism into a fund to buy a new homeland. The deep irony that the island nation’s economy relies heavily on tourists arriving in polluting aircraft has not been lost on the islanders. (Sakis Papadopoulos)

Osama bin Laden isn’t the first terrorist mastermind to be bested in Abbottabad this year. On January 25th, Omar Patek (AKA Umar Kecil), the Yemeni-Indonesian explosives expert who was a member of the KOMPAK group of Jemaah-Islaamiya, was captured by the Pakistani military in Abbottabad. He was the man behind the 2002 Bali bombings that resulted in 200 deaths and the US had a one million dollar price on information on his whereabouts. He was reportedly in Pakistan to meet with bin Laden himself, and the ties between the two are said to have been quite strong. Read more at The Diplomat and the Jakarta Post.
