Posted by NEWS on 18/6/2005, 22:01:55 by MNA PRESS By Bill Wilson, WASH—Jun 17—DJNS—The End-Times clock ticked again Thursday as the United Nation’s International Atomic Energy Agency signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia to limit nuclear inspections, despite mounting evidence that the Saudis may be attempting to acquire a nuclear bomb.
END TIME CLOCK TICKS AS SAUDI ARABIA LURKS IN THE SHADOWS OF NUCLEAR INTRIGUE
The signing of the Small Quantities Protocol (SQP) was hailed by the U.N. as a “safeguards agreement” under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, giving the false impression that the U.N.’s IAEA had actually done something positive to limit the spread of nuclear weapons in the world’s foremost hotspot of violence—the greater Middle East.
In reality, however, the IAEA may have signed away a linchpin bargaining chip in the event Saudi Arabia continues on its path of nuclear intrigue toward acquiring, rather than making, a nuclear weapon. There is a large quantity of information written and documented that the Saudis have purchased nuclear-capable missiles from China, funded nuclear programs in Iraq and Pakistan, and have entered into nuclear protection agreements with members of the nuclear club, most importantly, Pakistan.
There is no smoking gun nor is there any publicly confirmed evidence that the Saudis are acquiring nuclear weapons. There are reports, however, from eyewitnesses who either partook in the acquisitions program or were in attendance when such initiatives were discussed.
According to two separate sources, The Nuclear Threat Initiative and GlobalSecurity.org, both think tanks that monitor worldwide nuclear weapons activity, the Saudis paid Saddam Hussein some five billion dollars to build a nuclear weapon. The Saudis expected in return some of the bombs would be transferred to a Saudi arsenal if the project were successful. Additionally, the Saudis also funded much of the Pakistani nuclear program and signed a secret agreement obligating Pakistan to provide security assurances to Saudi Arabia in the event of an attack. This information is collaborated by an investigative report conducted by The Guardian in London and Saudi insider Mohammed Khilevi, a high ranking Saudi official who defected and produced documents verifying the Saudi nuclear intentions.
There is also a straight-line connection between the Saudis and the “Father of the Islamic Bomb,” A.Q. Khan, the nuclear scientist who developed the Pakistani nuclear bomb and then sold his blueprint to North Korea, Iran and Libya, offering it to others. Khan’s electronic blueprints and a fair amount of hard technology have gone missing, according to the IAEA, and are thought to have landed in the hands of terrorists or terrorist-supporting states. It is yet to be confirmed that Saudi Arabia was one of Khan’s customers, although Khan has stated that his development of the nuclear bomb was ideologically motivated.
Under the formal diplomatic protest of the United States, the Saudi Arabian government visited Pakistan’s uranium enrichment and missile assembly facility in May 1999, where Khan was busy at work. Khan reciprocated by attending a symposium entitled “Information Sources on the Islamic World” in Saudi Arabia in November 1999. There were several other cooperative exchanges and visits involving Khan and the Saudis.
It is also documented that the Saudis have purchased nuclear-capable missiles from China. And the head of Israel Defense Force’s Military Intelligence, Major General Aharon Ze’evi reportedly told the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in October 2003 that Saudi Arabian officials in Pakistan negotiated the purchase of nuclear warheads for their land-based missiles.
This information and more, readily available to the IAEA, makes it all the more incredible that now by treaty there will be no nuclear inspections in Saudi Arabia. The growing tension between Saudi Arabia and the U.S. over the harboring of terrorists begs the question whether there is a long term strategy of Middle East dominance in the making. We know that in Ezekiel 38 and 39, the Lord speaks of a huge battle where all the nations will come against Israel. A nuclear Arabia would certainly escalate tensions driving toward such a battle. The ineffectual work of the IAEA only accelerates these possibilities
