| [NATION.PK] Saudi Embassy has informed Riyadh, of Pakistain's concerns about funding to Madrassas from Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... Official sources in Saudi Embassy said that a letter summarizing the concerns about the funding to some of the Pak religious seminary was sent to the concerned authorities, in Saudi Arabia. The acting ambassador doesn't want to issue a policy statement in this connection as appointment of the new ambassador is awaited, the sources added. "And soon a policy statement would be shared with the media in this connection," a diplomat said on condition of anonymity. State Minister for Education Mian Muhammad Baligh ur Rehman told sources the other day that funding from Saudi Arabia, would flow to any institution through government of Pakistain. "Permission of the government would be mandatory," he said. The issue of financing of madrassas by Saudi Arabia was making rounds in the sessions of the parliament this week. Recently, Federal Minister for Inter-provincial Coordination (IPC) Riaz Hussain Pirzada severely criticized the Saudi funding to Madrassas in Pakistain, though latter, he amended his words. A US diplomatic cable, published by WikiLeaks said financial support estimated at $100 million a year was making its way from those Gulf Arab states to an krazed killer recruitment network in Pakistain's Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard 2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers 3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... province. |

| #2 Saudis influence in Pakistan has led to the likes of LE T, Taliban and AlQ. They would have existed anyway -- the Pakistani army has never won a conventional war -- but they would have had fewer men and fewer weapons |
