BBC NEWS: Saudi nuclear weapons 'on order' from Pakistan

[yurbud]

The US government will either ignore this altogether as it does Israel's nukes or the fact that this story is reported at all is a sign of how deep the current rift is between the US and Saudi.

The only stronger evidence of a falling out would be if someone "leaked" the Saudi pages of the Joint Congressional Inquiry into 9/11, so official Washington could be shocked, SHOCKED! to find out our beloved ally played an active role in those attacks.

Saudi Arabia has invested in Pakistani nuclear weapons projects, and believes it could obtain atomic bombs at will, a variety of sources have told BBC Newsnight.

While the kingdom's quest has often been set in the context of countering Iran's atomic programme, it is now possible that the Saudis might be able to deploy such devices more quickly than the Islamic republic.

Earlier this year, a senior Nato decision maker told me that he had seen intelligence reporting that nuclear weapons made in Pakistan on behalf of Saudi Arabia are now sitting ready for delivery.

Last month Amos Yadlin, a former head of Israeli military intelligence, told a conference in Sweden that if Iran got the bomb, "the Saudis will not wait one month. They already paid for the bomb, they will go to Pakistan and bring what they need to bring."

1. Thank you yurbud for exposing the

Saudi Vipers. I'm hoping our President will not humiliate himself with another bow to kiss the oily ring.

Wahabi, Midrassas concern me. Is our ally funding a violent regime based on oil profits from the US? Are the Saudis looking to profit from instability in the middle east?
