\n ISLAMABAD, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have concluded a secret
\n agreement on "nuclear cooperation" that will provide the
\n Saudis with nuclear-weapons technology in exchange for cheap oil,
\n according to a ranking Pakistani insider. <\/p>\n

The disclosure came at the end of a 26-hour state visit to Islamabad
\n last weekend by Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, Saudi Arabia’s de
\n facto ruler, who flew across the Arabian Sea with an entourage of 200,
\n including Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al Faisal and several Cabinet
\n ministers. <\/p>\n

"It will be vehemently denied by both countries," said
\n the Pakistani source, whose information has proven reliable for more
\n than a decade, "but future events will confirm that Pakistan has
\n agreed to provide [Saudi Arabia] with the wherewithal for a nuclear deterrent." <\/p>\n
