Ex-U.S. President Carter wins Nobel Peace Prize

Fri Oct 11, 5:18 AM ET

[ Congratulations Mr. Carter. Better luck next time Mr. Kielburger.Please continue the meaningful work. ]

OSLO (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for working for peace and human rights around the world.

Carter won from a record field of 156 candidates vying for the prize named after Alfred Nobel, a Swedish philanthropist and inventor of dynamite. Carter, a Democrat, was president from 1977 to 1981.

He has won praise for tireless work as an ex-president in trying to bring peace to everywhere from Haiti to North Korea (news - web sites). He has been repeatedly nominated for the prize, worth $1.0 million.

He came close to winning in 1978 when Israeli Prime Minister Menachim Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat shared the Nobel Peace award for a peace deal brokered by Carter.
