Saudi Arabia warns of possible Midlde East nuclear arms race

An influential member of the Saudi royal family is warning if the Middle East does not become a nuclear weapon-free zone, a nuclear arms race is inevitable and could possibly include Iraq, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and even Turkey. Prince Turki Al Faisal said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press that the zone is a better way of dealing with Iran's nuclear enrichment program.
The former Saudi intelligence chief said the five permanent UN Security Council members should guarantee a nuclear security umbrella for Mideast countries that join a nuclear-free zone - and impose military sanctions against countries seen to be developing such weapons.
