| 2013-11-08 |
[Dawn] Pakistain's Foreign Office on Thursday strongly deniedNo, no! Certainly not! reports that Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... funded the country's nuclear weapons program calling the news item as "baseless, fake and provocative." Citing different sources, BBC Newsnight had reported that Saudi Arabia can obtain atomic bombs from Pakistain 'at will.' Speaking to BBC Urdu, Foreign Office Spokesman Aizaz Chaudhry said that Pakistain is a responsible nuclear power. The country has a robust control system for its nuclear weapons and also had taken extensive protection measures for ensuring their security, the front man said. He also said the country's nuclear program is at par with the international standards and in compliance with the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Pakistain has been disposing off the west's reservations regarding safety of the country's nuclear assets, stressing that these were in safe hands. Referring to his conversation with an unnamed NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... official earlier this year, diplomatic and defence editor of Newsnight Mark Urban said the official had seen such covert reports which point to a deal between Saudis and Pakistain. According to those reports, he said, Pakistain's nuclear weapons are ready to be delivered to Saudi Arabia. A presser by former Israeli military intelligence chief Amos Yadlin was also highlighted in the report. Yadlin had told the media that Saudis will not even wait for a month in acquiring the atomic bomb in case Iran succeeds in making one. He said Pakistain had already been paid by the Saudis in that regard. |
