Our post from last month about Saudi Arabia’s secret nuclear program, being conducted with help from Pakistan, is now corroborated by a UPI release: Saudi Arabia may join nuclear club. (Hat tip: Allah.)

Charles Krauthammer’s nightmare scenario of hyperproliferation may be coming true faster than he dreamed.

DOHA, Qatar, April 9 (UPI) — Kuwaiti researcher Abdullah al-Nufaisi told a seminar in Doha, Qatar, that Saudi Arabia is preparing a nuclear program, the Middle East Newsline reported.

He said Saudi scientists were urging the government to launch a nuclear project, but had not yet received approval from the ruling family.

Riyadh denies any intention to establish a nuclear energy program, but Gulf sources told the Middle East Newsline Saudi officials have been discussing a nuclear research and development program — and that the program would be aided by Pakistan and other Riyadh allies.

“Saudi Arabia will not watch as its neighbors develop nuclear weapons,” a Gulf source said. “It’s a matter of time until a Saudi nuclear program begins.”

But wait. I was under the impression Iran’s nuclear program was for peaceful purposes. You don’t think they’re … lying, do you?

Also notice that the “Gulf source” said neighbors. Plural.
