Some of those names are Mohamed El-Baradei (the ex-Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and joint recipient, with the Agency, of the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize), Amr Moussa (the current Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, and former Egyptian Foreign Minister), Ahmed Zewail (Egyptian-American scientist, and the winner of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry), and Gamal Mubarak (the General Secretary of the Policy Committee of the National Democratic Party and the younger of the two sons of Hosni Mubarak), among others.
