RABAT: Rescue workers are scouring an artificial Moroccan lake in search of the head of Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund who went missing after his glider crashed.

Morocco’s official MAP news agency is reporting that Ahmed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan’s glider went down in the lake on Friday. The pilot of the aircraft was rescued in good condition, but authorities continued the search for Al-Nahyan Saturday.
Al-Nahyan is the managing director of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. He is also the younger brother of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the leader of the United Arab Emirates.
The glider went down near the Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah Dam, some 35 kilometers south of the capital city Rabat.
