Iraq, at war with Iran, had the desire to manufacture nuclear weapons but not the money to do it.
Saudi financed the effort in return for the promise of 50% of the production. It also seems to have financed the Pakistani effort at the same time.
Saudi went so far as to buy missiles from China which would be expensive follies without nuclear warheads http://www.fas.org/irp/threat/missile/saudi.htm
Iraq never produced any nuclear warheads, but Pakistan did.
What are the chances that Saudi is already a nuclear power? |
