Massive search operations are undergoing for searching the Abu Dhabi royal who has gone missing in the glider crash last week. The glider carrying Sheikh Ahmed bin Zayed al-Nahyan reportedly crashed into a lake near the Atlantic coastal town of Skhirat, around 35 km south of Rabat on Friday.

While the pilot was rescued and admitted to a hospital but there is no knowhow of al-Nahyan, the younger brother of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, the ruler of Abu Dhabi and the president of the UAE. Sheikh Ahmed was fond of recreation and fishing for which the lake is famous.

Around 40 year old Sheikh Ahmed was ranked at 27th place in the Forbes list of most influential people of the World. He is also the MD of the world's biggest sovereign wealth fund- the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) found in 1996 and believed to have assets of around $500 billion-$700 billion.
