We mentioned before that nuclear race in the Middle East has begun with more Arab countries declaring their intensions to develop nuclear power (for "peaceful purposes" of course)
The countries involved were named by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. Tunisia and the UAE have also shown interest. Now King Abdullah of Jordan said he too wants to develop a "peaceful nuclear program". Here is what he said to Ha'aretz:
"The rules have changed on the nuclear subject throughout the whole region. Where I think Jordan was saying, 'we'd like to have a nuclear-free zone in the area,' after this summer, everybody's going for nuclear programs.
