The Norwegian Nobel Committee has received 191 nominations for this year's Nobel Peace Prize. Among the nominees are rock star Bono and the president of Indonesia.
The nominees reportedly include the former president of Finland, Martti Ahtisaari, and president of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang, for trying to bring peace to the war- and tsunami-ravaged province of Aceh.
Other names include Bono of the rock group U2 and Bob Geldof, both of whom have actively tried to eliminate third-world debt and fight poverty. The Israeli atomic researcher Modechai Vanunu, who's prohibited from leaving Israel after serving a long prison term there, is also believed to be a candidate.
