Nobel Peace Prize awarded to National Dialogue Quartet
The National Dialogue Quartet received the Nobel Peace Prize for helping build a pluralistic democracy in its country. Rights groups accuse Israel of heavy force in West Bank and Gaza unrest. Obama apologized to a humanitarian group for bombing a hospital in Kunduz, killing at least 22. Svetlana Alexievich, a journalist, won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Two campus shootings last week left two dead and four wounded in Texas and another state.
