Saudis have Pakistan commitment of nuclear bomb: U.S. expert

"One of the great unknowns is whether they (Saudi Arabia) have already got a deal with Pakistan for the delivery of a bomb,” said Bruce Riedel, a former CIA analyst who is currently with the Brookings Institute, an eminent American think-tank.

"Why does Pakistan have the fastest growing nuclear arsenal in the world? Why are they producing more bombs than the Indians by double or triple? Is there some external partner who they have a commitment to?" he asked at a panel discussion on Obama administration's foreign policy organised by the Brookings Institute.
 
"On this issue there's a lot of smoke, there's very little fire that anyone has seen, but if you ask my bottom line I think there probably have been discussions between the Saudis and the Pakistanis, and the Saudis have a Pakistani commitment to provide a bomb and you can take a Pakistani commitment to provide a bomb to the bank and cash it for probably nothing," Riedel said.

 Riedel said Saudi Arabia is deeply disappointed with US President Barack Obama.

 "In the beginning, they were very optimistic like everyone else about Obama. Riyadh is actually the first Arab country that President Obama went to even before his speech in Cairo.

But the Saudis have become very disillusioned. They've demonstrated that disillusionment this year in a number of ways," he noted.

“Saudi Arabia,” he added, “recently refused to take their seat in the UN Security Council.”
The western media has recently published a report that Saudis can import atomic bomb from Pakistan any time.
