Egypt: Islamists throw stones at Mohamed ElBaradei
2011-03-20
[Ennahar] Hundreds of Islamic brown turbans threw stones at Egyptian Mohamed ElBaradei,
Egyptian law scholar and Iranian catspaw. He was head of the IAEA from December 1997 to November 2009. At some point during his tenure he was purchased by the Iranians. ElBaradei and the IAEA were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for something in 2005. After stepping down from his IAEA position ElBaradei attempted to horn in on the 2011 Egyptian protests which culminated in the collapse of the Mubarak regime. ElBaradei served on the Board of Trustees of the International Crisis Group, a lefty NGO that is bankrolled by the Carnegie Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as George Soros' Open Society Institute. Soros himself serves as a member of the organization's Executive Committee.

#2  But of course. Badly hurt, he becomes a martyr of sorts. Otherwise he's merely a moderately-bruised Iranian stooge.
