Saudi Arabia Accused of Advancing Nuclear Weapons Program With Chinese Help
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Hiroshima, Japan, a temple bell tolled at 8:15 am today to
commemorate the 75th anniversary of the world's first nuclear attack by
the United States.

Meanwhile U.S. intelligence officials said Wednesday that Saudi Arabia
has partnered with China to build a secret nuclear facility to extract
uranium yellowcake from uranium ore. Such a move would represent a major
step by Saudi Arabia toward the construction of a nuclear weapon.
