Saudis consider nukes to achieve 'balance of terror' with Iran
World Tribune ^ | Monday, April 17, 2006


ABU DHABI — Saudi Arabia is rethinking its rejection of a nuclear weapons arsenal in light of recent developments in Iran.

"A Saudi atomic bomb is not an option, which we were thinking of a few days ago," Abdul Rahman Al Rashed, a leading Saudi analyst, wrote in the London-based A-Sharq Al Awsat on Sunday.

"However, we know that there is no other option to deal with Iran, which is armed with nuclear weapons, except through the same balance of terror, which guarded the situation among Moscow, Beijing, and the West, and now between Karachi and New Delhi."
