1. Princess Leia in Star Wars
2. Was it a casualty of rising sea levels and ceased to exist?
4. Usain Bolt
5. Slightly puzzled by this as I'm 99% certain it's a prison but it's hardly the only one in the USA. I think it's the one where Abu Hamza iis locked up so maybe it's specifically ffor terrorists???
