AP Interview: Saudi royal warns that Mideast could face nuclear arms race

By Associated Press
The Washington Post, Davos, Switzerland, 25 Jan 2012 –
An influential member of the Saudi royal family warned Wednesday that unless the Middle East becomes a nuclear weapon-free zone, a nuclear arms race is inevitable and could include his own country, Iraq, Egypt and even Turkey.
Prince Turki Al Faisal said the five permanent U.N. 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 nuclear weapons.
