World Bank Carbon Fund to Pay for Protecting Forests The Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF), announced by the World Bank on Thursday, will be part of UN climate change negotiations in Bali in December to shape a global agreement for when the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012. "A lot will depend on what the global agreement will be, but we think potentially this could yield a lot of money," Joelle Chassard, manager of the World Bank's carbon finance unit, told Reuters in an interview. Chassard said the new facility would provide financial incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation. (Reuters) | |||

How cut-price diamonds are traded for weapons SIERRA Leonean rebels opposed by Britain have been selling cut-price "blood diamonds" to Osama bin Laden's al-Qa'eda network to support the group's terrorist activities. For the past three years, senior bin Laden lieutenants have bought diamonds at about 10 per cent of the market price from members of Sierra Leone's Revolutionary United Front (RUF). The diamonds, wrapped in polythene or rags, are taken across the border to a safe house in Liberia where they are exchanged for briefcases full of banknotes carried from Belgium by dealers who make several trips a month, according to American and European intelligence officials. Payment is also made in the form of guns, medicine and food. During Sierra Leone's civil war, the RUF hacked the limbs off civilians and conscripted children. The diamond mines were principal among the spoils of war. (London Telegraph) | |||
