White House Opposes Reappointment of IAEA Chief ElBaradei

HeadlineApr 28, 2005

Mohamed ElBaradei received the support of all other 34 nations on the board of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The Bush administration has openly squared off with ElBaradei since he accurately doubted that Iraq had a nuclear weapons program.
