As director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Mohammed El Baradei should have his hands full over the coming weeks and months. Convenient, then, that he and the IAEA jointly received the Nobel peace prize - an award he described as a "shot in the arm" - in October 2005, for his work on behalf of the IAEA under the auspices of the United Nations.

The prize came just months after the United States pressed for ElBaradei's removal from the helm after he refused to endorse U.S. claims that Iraq had restarted its nuclear weapons programme, and was seen by Washington as being lenient to the Iranian nuclear programme.

Steve Jobs - Syrian American

Correction, someone said Steve was Lebanese..he is not. His father was a US college professor from Syria, and his mother was American. Check it out on Wikipedia.com.

Arabs...?

Steve Jobs is an arab, of Lebanese origin. If your list spans "the world" then you'd be remiss for him not to be in it.
