| Description | OSLO, Norway (CNN) -- The U.N. nuclear watchdog and its head, Mohamed ElBaradei, won the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for their efforts to limit the spread of atomic weapons.
ElBaradei told a news conference it was "a shot in the arm" for his agency and would strengthen its resolve in dealing with major issues like North Korea and Iran.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee picked the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and ElBaradei, an Egyptian, from a record field of 199 candidates.
It praised ElBaradei as an "unafraid advocate" of measures to strengthen non-proliferation efforts. |
