Joseph S. Mayton - AHN Middle East Correspondent

Cairo, Egypt (AHN) - An American diplomatic source has told the Egyptian daily Al Masry Al Youm that Saudi Arabia is threatening to intervene in Iraq to support Sunni allies. The unnamed source was reported as saying that once American troops leave Iraq Saudi Arabia will support the Sunni population militarily.

"Saudi Arabia has threatened direct interference in Iraq to protect Sunnis in case [coalition forces] suddenly pull out," the source said, referring to the current struggle in American politics on the date to remove troops.

Al Masry Al Youm added that the source close to the United States State Department revealed that there was a letter sent to Washington concerning this development. According to the source, American Vice-President Dick Cheney's recent Middle East tour was related to this matter, although the source did not specify the VP by name.

The story in the Egyptian daily commented on the possibility of a greater Middle Eastern war caused by the Iraq crisis. It said that a military escalation could result between Iran and Iraqi Shias vis a vis Saudi Arabia and other regional Sunni powers. Manar Ammar contributed to this report in Cairo.

is most likely a zionist shill.

They're pushing to set up the political circumstances to extend their covert bloody "civil war" across the region.

The intend to blow up cars throughout the middle east. But, they have to create the circumstances to explain them.

I agree qm that this is false concern especially if news come trough Egypt. Neither Iran not Saudis want war between Muslims and Saudi Arabia has much more to lose if decides to meddle with Shi'ites and Iran. Saudis are already on verge of monarchical collapse in ME and all of that is as a result of pretty please attitude toward Israel and mother England. Arabs are quite dumb and not only because they tolerated puppet regimes installed proxy by colonial powers but the worst scenario goes out when dumb people get mad. When that happens they will bring the whole house down. I wonder if that would be actually the best way out of this world wide corruption hidden behind hypocritical veil of diplomatic brainwashing.
