OSLO/TOKYO � Japanese organization Nihon Hidankyo, a grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, in a warning to countries that have nuclear weapons not to use them.
Many survivors of the only two nuclear bombs ever to be used in conflict, who are known in Japanese as "hibakusha," have dedicated their lives to the struggle for a nuclear-free world.
