Citing NATO sources, British media reports said nuclear weapons made in Pakistan on behalf of Saudi Arabia are now sitting ready for delivery.
According to the reports, Riyadh has had the missile technology to deliver warheads since the late 1980s.
“I do think that the Saudis believe they have some understanding with Pakistan, that in extremis (sic) they would have claim to acquire nuclear weapons from Pakistan,” said Gary Samore, who served as US President Barack Obama’s counter-proliferation adviser until earlier this year.
The British media reports also quoted former Israeli military intelligence chief, Amos Yadlin, as saying that the Saudis have already paid for the bomb.
“They will go to Pakistan and bring what they need to bring,” he said at a conference in Sweden in October.
