Reuters Rewrites History: Says ElBaradei Received Nobel Prize for Warning 'No Iraqi WMDs'

Mohamed ElBaradei and his U.N. nuclear watchdog grabbed the world spotlight in the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq by challenging Washington?s argument that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

Dr Blix and Dr ElBaradei said:

Iraq had failed to account for 6,500 bombs which could carry up to 1,000 tonnes of chemical agent, or for 8,500 litres of biological warfare agent and a large amount of growth media which could be used to produce about 5,000 litres of concentrated anthrax; 12 chemical rocket warheads unearthed by UNMOVIC inspectors were potentially, in Dr Blix's words, 'the tip of a submerged iceberg.'
