According to Prince Turki al-Faysal, nuclear weapon could be created in the land of decapitation and women’s rights. The former head of the Saudi intelligence services declared in an interview with the ‘Figaro’ that “if all our efforts and those of the world fail to convince Israel and Iran to give up their weapons of mass destruction, then we will have to study all the options available to us carefully. One of the options is to acquire this type of weapon ”.
And to add by referring to Israel and Iran: “There are already two countries that (the nuclear bomb race) lead. If we cannot stop this race, one of the possibilities for us is to join it. That said, I am opposed to any unilateral military attack against anyone. ”
Approached by the ‘Figaro’ during the 4th World Policy, conference organized in Vienna by the French Institute of International Relations (IFRI), his words are to be taken seriously as long as they emanate from a very influential member of the prevailing family in Saudi Arabia. Former Saudi Ambassador in London and Washington, Turki grants this interview while the noises of an attack targeting Iran, orchestrated by Israel because of its nuclear program, are more like day after day. A declaration (understand a revelation) which has the effect of a … bomb!
A country as rich in oil resources does not have to worry as much about its safety. On the contrary, the ‘danger’ for the ruling family could rather come from the inside, where no force in the world can prevent a people from ‘living’. With an Arab Spring that plays extensions to the detriment of other seasons, no one is safe!
