Pakistan denies press reports of sending troops to Saudi Arabia
Pakistan has denied the news items carried in the Middle East and local media, speculating that Saudi Arabia has asked Pakistan to send a sizable troop contingent and security and intelligence personnel. A Foreign Office spokesman said on Wednesday that these reports were baseless and incorrect and no such consultations have taken place between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
Y'see, they've got this modern airbase, with nobody there, and they couldn't think of what to do with it. Since the Paks have such a nice army, they figured they'd ask if they wanted to use it...
