This is the Arab response to Iran going nuclear. Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the smaller gulf states are using Pakistan (a Sunni state) to counter Shia Iran.
In the book BCCI Bank that I read a few years ago it stated that Saudi Arabia funded 'The Muslim Bomb' for Pakistan. I bet SA already has a couple nukes somewhere under a sand dune.
Or is this that islamic nation's response to Israel's and the West's military presence in the ME?
