News Briefs Nobel Laureates: Military Action Alone Won't End TerrorismDecember 10, 2001 Nobel laureates who gathered in Oslo on Friday to mark the 100th anniversary of the award denounced terrorism but said it could be better fought by eliminating poverty and weapons of mass destruction than by military strikes. "The rest of the world did not go away because New York was attacked," said Jody Williams of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, which won the peace prize in 1997. "Everything seems to be swept under the carpet of this war, and we've heard so many times in the past couple of days how many die of starvation and AIDS everyday." "Five thousand people lost their lives in this horrible event, but that same day 7,000 people lost their lives because of HIV/AIDS," said Jakob Kellenberger, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
