Peace Prize: Nobel goes to chemical weapons watchdog
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, or OPCW, is the surprise winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee made the award Friday morning in Oslo for the Hague-based group's "extensive efforts to eliminate chemical weapons." It is the 22nd time that an individual organization has won the award. Last year's prize was scooped by the European Union.
