Colleagues at UCLA found this to be true too as they worked to combine island biogeography theory with terrorism to build on age-old spatial statistics of probabilities of where Osama Bin Laden might be located. Their paper demonstrates the power of the First Law of Geography: “Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things.” (Tobler 1970).
