A former dictator is not getting out of Pakistan that easily – The Nobel committee breaks from the usual routine to award the Literature prize – Confidence in Kenya’s security sinks after the shocking police reaction to a heinous crime – And some families really like to plant their family trees deep.

Pakistani authorities rearrested ex-dictator Pervez Musharraf, a day after he was granted bail in another case.  This time, he was arrested over ordering the 2007 “Red Mosque” raid that left more than 100 people dead.  Musharraf insists the charges against him are politically motivated.  The new arrest appears to scuttle plans of some of his supporters to whisk him out of the country.

Pakistani schoolgirl and education champion Malala Yousefzai has been awarded the European Union’s Sakharov Human Rights prize for campaigning for better rights for girls.  Members of the European Parliament who voted for Malala said she was incredibly brave for continuing to stand up for girls’ rights, even after surviving being shot in the head by Islamist extremists.  The 16-year old could be the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace prize when it is announced on Friday.

The Nobel for Literature was awarded to Canadian author Alice Munro.  The prize committee compared the 82-year-old author to Anton Chekhov, the 19th century Russian who is considered one of the greatest short story writers in history.  In breaking from the usual practice of honoring novelists, the Nobel Committee says Munro is the “master of the contemporary short story.”

The father of US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden is in Russia to visit his fugitive son, who is living in an undisclosed location in or around Moscow, beyond the reach of US prosecutors.  Lon Snowden said he felt “extreme gratitude that my son is safe and secure and he's free.”  The younger Snowden leaked thousands of US intelligence documents, and he could be sentenced to decades in prison if he’s caught and repatriated.

Malawi's President Joyce Banda has sacked her cabinet amid a widespread corruption scandal in government.  Several officials have been caught hiding money under their beds and in their cars, and the country’s top anti-corruption crusader was shot and wounded.  Four suspects have been arrested for the shooting and ten government officials have been arrested for corruption.

Kenyans are outraged after reports that three men who brutally assaulted and raped a teenage girl, crippled her, and through he into a pit latrine were ordered to cut grass as a punishment.  The 16-year old girl’s back was broken, and she uses a wheelchair – but she says she wants justice.  It’s creating a crisis of confidence in Kenya’s security forces, after earlier reports they looted the Westgate Mall during a bloody attack by Islamist terrorists, and during a massive fire that destroyed the main terminal at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

Divers have finished the search of the immigrant ship that capsized off the Italian Island of Lampedusa, saying there are no more bodies trapped in the sunken vessel.  The toll stands at 311 lives lost, more than 50 still missing at sea, and 155 survivors.  Recovery crews plan on using aquatic robots to search for the remaining bodies of African asylum seekers.

Oetzi the Iceman, the remarkably well-preserved frozen cave man found in the Tyrolean Alps back in 1991 has descendants living in the area today.  Using DNA analysis, scientists determined at least 19 Austrian men are direct descendants.  That’s right:  5,300 years, and the family never left the neighborhood.
