Israel Matzav: Those forgetful Norwegians

Those forgetful Norwegians

Norway is accusing Iran of a 'shocking first' in the history of the Nobel Peace Prize: The seizure of Shirin Ebadi's medal and certificate by the Iranian government.

Iranian authorities have confiscated Nobel Peace laureate Shirin Ebadi's medal, the Norwegian government said Thursday, accusing Iran of a shocking first in the history of the prize.

Norwegian authorities were told that Ebadi's medal was seized "within the last week or so" from a safe-deposit box in Iran along with personal effects including the diploma awarded with the medal, the Foreign Ministry said.

But it's not the first time a Nobel Peace Prize medal has been seized. Just ask Hamas.
