Mohammed AlBaradei, chief UN nuclear inspector and head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, had this warning as he accepted the Nobel Peace Price.

An excerpt from the AP story on CTV.ca:

While accepting the award, ElBaradei warned that humanity faces a choice between atomic weapons and survival.

"I have no doubt that if we hope to escape self-destruction, then nuclear weapons should have no place in our collective conscience, and no role in our security,'' the 63-year-old Egyptian said.
