Saudi Arabia is working secretly on a nuclear program, with help from Pakistani experts, the German magazine Cicero reported, citing Western security sources.
U.S. military analyst John Pike is quoted as saying that Saudi bar codes can be found on half of Pakistan's nuclear weapons "because it is Saudi Arabia which ultimately co-financed the Pakistani atomic nuclear program."
Satellite images reportedly indicate that Saudi Arabia has set up a program in Al-Sulaiyil, south of Riyadh, a secret underground city, and dozens of underground silos for missiles.
According to some Western security services, long-range Ghauri-type missiles of Pakistani-origin are housed inside the silos.
Thanks again to Pakistan, the world is a step closer to Charles Krauthammer's nightmare scenario of nuclear hyperproliferation. The former protection afforded by the threat of mutually assured destruction is no longer applicable, courtesy of Islamists.
