Wednesday, Doug is joined in studio by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mohamed ElBaradei. ElBaradei served three terms as the general director of the International Atomic Energy Agency. During that time, he addressed Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear program, worked to keep nuclear arms out of terrorists’ hands and disputed the U.S.’s claim that Saddam Hussein was producing nuclear weapons. ElBaradei is in Utah this week to speak about global security and the need for an alternative to nuclear weapons, a new system that can bring lasting peace to a changing world.
Mohamed ElBaradei is the keynote speaker at the World Leaders Lecture Forum, sponsored by the University of Utah’s Tanner Humanities Center. ElBaradei’s lecture, “The Challenge of Security in Our World,” will be held on Thursday, September 13 at 3:30 p.m. at Kingsbury Hall on the U of U campus. The event is free and open to the public, but tickets are required and may be obtained through the Kingsbury Hall box office or by calling 801-581-7100. Click here for more information.
