Nobel Peace Prize winners thought honor was a prank

The Norwegian Nobel Committee, warning of a rising risk of nuclear war, awarded the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize on 6 October to a little-known international campaign group advocating for a ban on nuclear weapons. The head of ICAN (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons), based in Geneva, said the Nobel committee had phoned to announce the news a few minutes before it was announced.
